How to cycle through light effects on button press?

Configuration

Hi everyone,
I am trying to build an automation to control a light from a zigbee button.
What I got so far:

  • Toggle the light on/off with a single press
  • Increase brightness when holding the button
    Where I’m struggling: I like to cycle through the effects of the light with a double click.

I did some research and stumbled over some threads with a similar question but I can’t get any suggested solution to work, probably because I couldn’t understand the solutions shown there.

Threads I found:

Does any of you have an elegant solution for this.
Thanks a lot in advance

Different devices and integrations can handle light effects differently, you will need to share the available information about your device for us to answer your question. For example, does your device contain a select entity that lists the available effects or is that list supplied as an attribute of the light entity?

There is no select entity.
