Flux LED component

Configuration

Hi

I have successfully set these up, got it into HASS and can turn it on and off and give it different effects etc…
However, two questions if you please

  1. I cant get it to change colour at all on the colour wheel within HASS - it works on the phones app. Any ideas?
    something to do with ‘mode’ setting? Im sure ive set it right… but maybe i’ll have a play. I have seen a thread where you need to modify some py files… but have yet to try it

  2. The effects are always active on this particular model. Is there an option to not have any effects running, and just have a solid colour? Achievable through automation?

No errors in the log which I have switched to debug to see if theres something I can see

It is a V1 controller, as per this

HASS v0.44.1

Thanks in advance

Update:

RE #1 above.
Tried adding ‘mode ‘rgb’’ to the yaml config. didnt make much difference that I can see. Still cant control the colour from within HA. I kept that one anyway, since my LED strips are RGB and not RGBW/W
Also added ‘protocol ‘ledenet’’ to it, but that didnt make any difference either
Saw a thread from well over 6 months ago, before flux_led was even a module in HA, so Im assuming that the work done in that thread was added to the main release… which means I have it. (I couldnt find any of the settings they were changing in the files mentioned)
any ideas anyone?

RE #2 looks to be achievable with automation, so dont worry about that

Can you elaborate on the automation you used?

Havent done it yet, they are a solid blue all the time.
But in theory, set a scene to whatever colours you want it to be, and then maybe a timer that turns them on/off and triggers throughout the day to switch between the scenes on those devices

Other question: are there LED controllors that support multiple colors on a strip. e.g. a ws2812b led strip

not aware of any, but that doesnt mean to say there are none - my knowledge is limited to FluxLED / controllers and the Philips Hue im afraid - sorry
