ESPHome Fastled Color Picker

Configuration
1

Hello together,

I´ve got an living room lamp with a ws2812b led strip.
is it possible to have to color picker card as an extra card at my fronted? Without to click and hold everytime the light switch?
And my second question is, is it possible for custom effects to not hardcode the values? Would be awesome to have some slider for example (speed and width)

light:
  - platform: fastled_clockless
    chipset: WS2811
    pin: D3
    num_leds: 120
    rgb_order: BRG
    name: "Wohnzimmer Lightbar"
    effects: 
    - flicker:
    - addressable_rainbow:
    - addressable_rainbow:
          name: Rainbow Effect With Custom Values
          speed: 10
          width: 50

And is it possbile to set the effects as preset?
When I turn of the light it remebers the last color and brighntess, but when i shut it off with an effect activated it turns on as static light again.

regards Tim

For the color wheel I can recommend the light entity card and for the effects I recommend using WLED instead of esphome. With WLED you have over hundred preprogrammed effects, you can adjust speed and intensity of effects and there already is an integration in HA. It is also possible to use esphome for the effect speed. For example you could use a Input number as a slider and assign its value to the speed in your esp.

I know how to open the color wheel with the light entity, but would be owesome to have the wheel as an extra entity on my UI.
I´ve also tried WLED, but I like Fastled more. I´ve programmed a lot of arduinos with fastled and without HA.
I normaly just need the rainbow effect. Or is there any “must have” effect :smiley: in WLED ?
