I’m using HA with ZHA on a Raspi 3 with Conbee II usb stick. I installed the system as described at the “Getting Started” page (Raspberry Pi - Home Assistant). Before that I used an Silvercest (Lidl) gateway in combination with the tuya app. The hardware of the Silvercest gateway is the same as the tuya gateway. I got the gateway cheap in some bundle. But I missed a lot of functions. So I bought the Raspi and the Conbee stick. Pairing worked fine. Regarding automations I have now thousands more options than befor with the tuya app.
BUT when controlling the devices in the “dashboard” of the tuya, there where mutch more options. In case of LED RGB light bulbs (VIYU_A60_806_RGBW_10454471) and LED RGBW stripe (TS0505A) I could set color maps / color loops. There where some presets and I could configure which colors are used, which speed and how smooth the colors change. There was even a option that the color changes in the rhythm of music. In case of HA and ZHA I just can set a color, temperatur of white and brightness. In case of my light bulbs there is one “effect” called colorloop. But how to configure that? How to get and configure the color map for the LED stripe??
I searched in the forum. So I found Custom ZHA Device Handlers (ZHA custom quirks handler implementation). But I think quirks is not the thing I need, or is it? And I had a look at the docs like Scripts - Home Assistant. And the custom cards (Custom cards for Home Assistant · GitHub) look like a bit to mutch for my small task!? Regarding quirks I also found GitHub - zigpy/zha-device-handlers: ZHA device handlers bridge the functionality gap created when manufacturers deviate from the ZCL specification, handling deviations and exceptions by parsing custom messages to and from Zigbee devices.. But also there was no answer to my question. But maybe blueprint like Color Loop effect for any light with color wheel selector is the thing I need!?
I´m just new to HA and a bit confused with all the concepts, options and functions.
How can I add functions like color loops to the dashboard “card” of a device??
Example for one dashboard “card” with one effect: colorloop.
