It’ll work on strips like it does in the smart phone app: select a theme and it’ll get applied to the strip. The added bonus is the ability to create your own theme, but the way it’s applied is not fixed: it’ll randomly paint using your chosen colours and will blend between them, etc.
If you get any of this into your dev repo happy to test out.
I’m planning on submitting directly to the core integration. I don’t really have the time to do it in my own repo first.
Theme support PR has been submitted: Add themes for LIFX multizone devices via a new select entity by Djelibeybi · Pull Request #80067 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
@Djelibeybi huge thank you for the work on adding Themes, this is massive for people with Lifx and in particular the light strip!
Aw, thanks!
Also, a quick note for folks who have Tiles or Candles: while there isn’t (yet) a theme selector for those devices, you can select a theme when calling the lifx.effect_morph
service and it’ll use that theme instead of the current state. Note that it’ll return to current state when lifx.effect_stop
is called.
