Help in adding colours to an existing blueprint

Configuration Blueprints

Here is the original blueprint post - Plex theatre light dimmer (Tautulli)

The original thread is dead, with the author talking about adding colours over a year ago but no action.

If I could get some guidance on how to do it, I’d like to add colour selection to the different triggered states (red/orange for playing, yellow/orange for paused, white for stopped). Is anyone willing to help me implement this?

Thanks!

Most everything you need is already done for you from what I can see.

You just need the cobnfidence to try it out.

    - service: light.turn_on
      data_template:
        entity_id: !input 'light'
        brightness_pct: !input 'play_brightness'
        transition: !input 'dim_transition'

Is what it uses to turn on the light. You simply need to add the key for one of the color types and a color code added to that to change the color.

Don’t start with the whole blueprint, just do a script that does that one thing and play with that until you get it working. Once you get it working add that line to the blueprint.

There are other changes needed to bring a 2yo blueprint to life. For instance data_template: needs to be changed to data:. I’m sure there is other things. in the end though it should be easy enough to get what you want.
