I have read a lot of articles on it and cannot find anything conclusive on how to set it up like this:

I have tried the following:

  1. configuring as SPI Light
  2. Configuring as neopixel bus
  3. Adding effects within the light config.

This is how my config works atm, the lights work perfectly fine but im looking for a effects drop down like WLED has.

light:
  - platform: neopixelbus
    type: GRB
    pin: GPIO13
    num_leds: 46
    variant: ws2812
    name: "Enclosure RGB"
    effects:
      - pulse:
          name: "Pulse Effect"

Try not to have the " in the name and see if that works.

light:
  - platform: neopixelbus
    type: GRB
    pin: GPIO13
    num_leds: 46
    variant: ws2812
    name: "Enclosure RGB"
    effects:
      - pulse:
          name: Pulse Effect

Blacky :smiley:
