How do I transition between 2 colors using Lambdas with Addressable LED strip

Hi all,

I build myself a Nanoleaf replica, where each leaf has 12 addressable LED (WS2812B strip) that is configured like that:

light:
  - platform: neopixelbus
    variant: WS2812X
    type: GRB
    pin: GPIO3
    num_leds: 228
    name: "Nanoleaf"
    color_correct: [93%, 93%, 93%] 
    id: nanoleaf_1

I successfully wrote a Lambda that changes the color of a single leaf. It is working fine, however, I couldn’t figure out how to transition (fade) to the color instead of a hard color change.

Reading the ESPHome light documentation I saw I could use set_transition_lenght, however, it is under lights and not addressablelight, and I got confused with all the inheritance stuff and got stuck.

I also looked at the esphome::Color Struct Reference and just found a fade_to_white and fade_to_black functions, but could not find a reference to fade to a color.

Extract from the Ligh Lambda Documentation

            auto call = id(my_light).turn_on();
            // Transition of 1000ms = 1s
            call.set_transition_length(1000);
            call.set_rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

My Addresable Lambda Effect

      - addressable_lambda:
          name: "Random Triangule Off"
          update_interval: 5s
          lambda: |-
            // it.size() - Number of LEDs
            // it[num] - Access the LED at index num.
            // Set the LED at num to the given r, g, b values
            // it[num] = Color(r, g, b);
            // Get the color at index num (Color instance)
            // it[num].get();
  
            // Get a random starting triangule
            uint16_t start_triangule = rand() % 19;
                                            
            // Set the base color
            it.all() = current_color;
  
            // Set the triangule color
            it.range(start_triangule * 12, (start_triangule*12) + 12) = light::ESPColor(0, 0, 0);

Is it possible to use it with set_rgb or I am trying something that doesn’t make any sense?

Sorry if the question is too basic, I am new to all this :slight_smile:
