Hi,
I am trying to configure a LED strip and add some effects but the select list does not appear:
# RGB:
light:
- platform: mqtt
schema: json
name: mqtt_json_light_2
state_topic: "home/rgb1"
command_topic: "home/rgb1/set"
brightness: true
rgb: true
effect: true
effect_list: [colorfade_slow, colorfade_fast, flash]
optimistic: false
qos: 0
Anyone knows what is wrong? I do not get any error and even I red the documentation, I am not able to display it

not sure. You pretty much have a carbon copy of my config and I see the effects:
- platform: mqtt
name: TV Cabinet LED Strip
schema: json
state_topic: "led_strip/tvcabinet"
command_topic: "led_strip/tvcabinet/set"
brightness: true
rgb: true
effect: true
effect_list: [colorfade_slow, colorfade_fast, flash]
optimistic: false
qos: 0
Note: the light must be on for the effect dropdown list to be displayed…

Ok, I will try once I get the light on, because I am having trouble with that also.
Thanks lolouk44

I publish the ON state to the topic but I am still unable to get the effect list:

to get the effect list you don’t publish, you just turn the light on, then you can select the effect:

So, the light state must be on in order to see the effect. Once is on, you just need to click on the light name to popup the Parameters.
Thank you very much lolouk44
