Im trying to get Aircookies WLED connecting with HA using the MQTT add-on. I have MQTT setup, and in the logs i can see my WLED devices showing up. In my wled i have the mqtt broker address as my hassio ip. I then installed mqtt explorer and i was expecting that when i make any changes in wled it should pick up the mqtt messages but im seeing nothing.
At a total loss why its not working, im presuming i have something setup wrong with my mqtt. Any thoughts?
If you could share your config, it would help.
At least the MQTT definition bit and where/how you defined the WLED in HA
Ok actually managed to get that working now, seems there was an issue with mqtt so had to reinstall it.
Something new though, i have added the light manually in my config.yaml file as a mqtt light, but unless im getting the topic names wrong its not sending the messages. Since im using credentials on mqtt do i need to add that in the config? at the moment its like this
light:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Mushroom"
command_topic: "wled/mushroom"
brightness_command_topic: "wled/mushroom"
rgb_command_topic: "wled/mushroom/col"

Thanks, i tried using your config but i get a bad indentation error. Not sure how to solve that?
There was a missing quote mark at the end.

I got this now though, do i need to define those somewhere else?
I don’t use LoveLace but this might be interesting:
@lebherz, how did you get the second gui? Mine looks like the first one using light card, missing the color options and the effects dropdown, which I did put into the lights.yaml as per one of the previous posts.
when you click the 3 vertical dots the second gui appeaers. turn on the light, and the wheel and the effect selection appears.
here is my only entry in HA. (in the configuration.yaml.

There’s no manual adding needed as the wled will be auto discovered by hass 
How do you call WLED entity in automation? I would like to turn on my WS2812 for 1 min and define specific Effect. How to do it?
