Multifunction LED control on heating controller

ESPHome
1

Hi all,
I have a heating controller which is based on the 4-relay ESP32 board from AliExpress, similar to this project: DIY Heating and Hot Water Controller

I have a multifunction button with an LED which controls the downstairs heating. I need the LED on this button to represent the status of the heating in this zone:
LED off - meaning that the heating is off;
Slow pulse - meaning that the heating has been triggered by a timer;
On-solid - meaning that the heating is in boost mode.

Here are my effects listed under the light: component:

light:
  - platform: monochromatic
    name: $friendly_name Button Light 1
    output: button_light_1
    id: button_light_switch_1
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
    # internal: true
    effects:
      - pulse:
          name: "Blink"
          transition_length: 0.5s
          update_interval: 0.5s
      - pulse:
          name: "Fast Pulse"
          transition_length: 0.1s
          update_interval: 0.4s
      - pulse:
          name: "Slow Pulse"
          transition_length: 1s
          update_interval: 2s

The button is setup using a GPIO and this calls a script “script.execute: heating_downstairs_1hr” when pressed:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 
      number: GPIO13
      mode:
        input: true
        pullup: true
    id: button_1
    filters:
      - delayed_on: 20ms
    on_release:
      then:
        - script.execute: heating_downstairs_1hr

Script heating_downstairs_1hr has the delay function for the required time:

script:
  - id: heating_downstairs_1hr
    mode: restart
    then:
      - switch.turn_on: brb_ds_direct
      - logger.log: "BoilerRelayBoard DS on"
      - delay: 60 min
      - switch.turn_off: brb_ds_direct
      - logger.log: "BoilerRelayBoard DS off"

Here’s the timer event for calling the heating:

time:
    on_time:
      # Downstairs, every weekday morning, 07.20 for 30 mins
      - hours: 07
        minutes: 20
        seconds: 00
        days_of_week: MON-FRI
        then:
          - script.execute: heating_downstairs_30min

What I can’t work out is, how do I call/set the effect or state of the LED on the basis of the operational jobs of the timer or the button? When I insert the light parameters (id, effect and brightness) into the script area as follows, I get error “mapping values are not allowed here”

  - id: heating_downstairs_1hr
    mode: restart
    then:
      - switch.turn_on: brb_us_direct
      - light.turn_on: button_light_switch_1
          id: button_light_switch_1
          effect: "Blink"
          brightness: 50%
      - logger.log: "BoilerRelayBoard US on"
      - delay: 60 min
      - switch.turn_off: brb_us_direct
      - logger.log: "BoilerRelayBoard US off"

What’s the best way of handling this? Do I need to lambda it in a platform template?

Remove the id after light.turn_on. So

- id: heating_downstairs_1hr
    mode: restart
    then:
      - switch.turn_on: brb_us_direct
      - light.turn_on:
          id: button_light_switch_1
          effect: "Blink"
          brightness: 50%
      ...

To use the right effect for the current state, can change to lambda function. I don’t know your sensors and states so code below is just an example:

- light.turn_on:
    id: button_light_switch_1
    effect: !lambda |-
       return id(brb_ds_direct).state ? "Blink" : "Fast Pulse";

Many thanks, I must have mashed the code at some point and couldn’t see the wood for the trees.
