Possibly stupid question in regards to MQTT light 'effect'

Ive got most of it figured, just a last lingering question.

The MQTT light has the ‘effects_list’ which lets you set each lights ability to pick an effect. That all works great, my question is: is there a way to show that a light is currently in ‘effect’ mode at a quick glance (no long press into more info dialog)? Currently, I set the light to show RGB color_mode and send 0,0,0 (black, because most lights wont be showing a black RGB colour, so it stands out).

I was thinking something like a rainbow glistening effect on the brightness bar or device name text? Or even maybe just an effect icon or something similar? Has anything like this been made by the community?

Sorry if it sounds like I’m demanding things, I’m not. Just asking because I cant seem to find anything like it and am curious of if it exists.

Thanks!

I don’t believe that there is anything built-in.

I just put up a PR to add a tile-badge icon for it, as I thought that might be helpful.
