I am still new to HA so maybe I missed something in my growing education.
I am trying to use Tapo LED strip light L930 effects to signal the washer is active.
In the UI I have three presets but cannot link them to the Tapo App.
But in the Developer tools i found some additional hidden attributes.
How do I get access to the effect_list and choose a value to use in an automation/script?
The things you see in the developer tools are values only.
You affect/change values with actions/service calls, so see what is available under the action tab in developer tools.
Some valuesight not have an action/service call and it can therefore only be changed by the internal code of the integration acting on input from the device/entity, like a temperature sensor.
Create an input select helper. Copy the list and configure it as options for the input select. Then create an automation that triggers when the input select it changes. Pass the new state to the action using trigger.to_state.state.
I found an alternate solution as I can adjust these presets when you set a scene and in the Entities section click on the Lites entity.
Then call the scene in an automation. So this can all be done with the UI.
Thanks for your help I will try it in an automation
