Dear HA community,
I am using the LED ring on my Voice PE to indicate, when there is an active item on my chores Todo-list.
Is it possible to change color and brightness on different parts of the LED ring on the Voice PE?
Is the hardware capable of this in principle, if this is not possible with the current ESPHome firmware?
Here is additional background, why I ask:
I use the LED ring on the Voice PE to indicate, when there is an item on my Todo list for chores.
Specifically, I have todo-items for the washing machine, dish washer, and garbage calendar items activate automatically on my chores Todo-list. An automation changes the LED color of the ring, when an item is active on the todo-list and changes the color back, when the list has no active items. (See the automation below.)
Being able to set parts of the LED ring to different colors / brightness would open up a lot of possibilities for notifying different aspects of my home (e.g. different Todo list with different colors; number of Todo-items as angular range in the respective color; etc.).
I am curious to hear any input. Or alternatively pointers to resources for researching this more.
Thank you and kind regards,
Michael
