Hey everyone! 
I built a custom integration called Mood Lights and wanted to share it with the community.
Why not just use Scenes?
Scenes work, but they have some pain points:
-
You can reconfigure them in Live mode, but the lights actually toggle at that time. → I needed a softer way to create moods for different vibes without annoying people.
-
There’s no quick way to “undo” a scene and go back to how your lights were before.
-
You have to set everything up front — no option to leave certain attributes untouched.
What Mood Lights does differently
Restore your lights automatically
- When you activate a mood, it snapshots your current light states first.
- One tap to go back to exactly how things were before.
- No automations needed.
Fully reconfigurable from the UI
- Change the name, swap lights in/out, tweak brightness or colors anytime.
- No need to delete and recreate.
Only change what you want
- Set brightness on one light, color temperature on another, and leave everything else alone.
- If a field is left blank, that attribute stays untouched.
Per-light control
- Each light gets its own settings based on what it supports.
- Brightness-only bulbs won’t show color pickers.
- Lights with effects get an effect dropdown.
Effect support
- If your lights support effects (like Rainbow, Candle, etc.), you’ll see a dropdown to pick one.
- Select “None” to clear it.
Turn lights off too
- Want some lights off as part of your mood? Just toggle them off.
- Mix on/off states however you want.
Exposes Actions
- Trigger built-in options like applying moods or generating snapshots from automation workflows.
- You can also use
button.pressactions.
