How do I turn off a lighting effect during a light.turn_on

ESPHome

I can turn the effect off from Home Assistant, but I can’t find a valid entry for a light.on command to say disable the active effect if there is one in my config.

Log showing it turn off from ESPHOME

[10:50:45][D][light:035]: ‘Left Top’ Setting:
[10:50:45][D][light:046]: State: ON
[10:50:45][D][light:084]: Transition length: 1.0s
[10:50:47][D][light:035]: ‘Left Top’ Setting:
[10:50:47][D][light:108]: Effect: ‘Flicker’
[10:50:53][D][light:035]: ‘Left Top’ Setting:
[10:50:53][D][light:084]: Transition length: 1.0s
[10:50:53][D][light:090]: Effect: ‘None’

Example config:

- light.turn_on: 
    id: left_top
    transition_length: 3s
    red: 100%
    green: 71%
    blue: 43%
    brightness: 100%

Is there something I can add to tell this specifically “No effect, if one is applied, turn it off?”
So far I’ve tried:

effect: None
effect: 'None'
effect: False
effect: 
effect: Null

and all give me a “Failed Config” message when I attempt to compile.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

If I use the following syntax, I don’t get an error message…

    on_turn_on:
      - light.turn_on: 
          id: my_led
          effect: "None"
          brightness: 75%

That worked! I’m assuming it’s because I’d done single quotes before, I’m surprised I didn’t try double as well.

Thank you

I’m trying to accomplish something similar to the above with RGBCCT 5-in-1 Ledsand a slow rainbow effect and color interlock. I have the following, but when I switch to the white leds, the white leds stay on for the set duration of the effect previously selected, then revert back to changing colour again. I’d like it so when I select the white leds to On (or triggered at a later date by a sensor), that it switches Off the effect and stays on white util I set it back to colour.
Could you offer some help?

Sorry, I don’t have any experience with RGBCCT leds.
