RGB Light control with NEOPIXEL strip

Configuration
1

Hi! I just got Home Assistant to work here and started working on my first node! I got a NodeMCU device with a small neopixel led strip (generic WSXXXX strip). I can get the example on / off neopixel light to work just fine, but I was wondering: Is it possible to create a RGB light from this setup, but being able to control the RGB colors and brightness like you can do for the normal RGB Light component?

My idea is to use the neopixel strip as an actual RGB light, but having all those handy interface controls like you see in the https://esphome.io/components/light/rgb.html page. Is that possible? Thanks!

Load WLED onto your NodeMCU device.

It integrates well with HA (auto discovery) and can be controlled like an RGB light (as well as having a bazillion presets and effects).

Actually, the setup IS RGB already… you just have to CLICK the lamp name to expand the other settings from the HA panel :expressionless: then you get brightness control and RGB settings.

Thanks for help anyway, the WLED is a very good alternative too!
