Simple led pulse - beginner user

ESPHome
1

Hi!
I am beginner in esphome. I am in the process of migrating from a device programmed in C/C++ to esphome+HA.
So far I managed to set up a DIY project to control a gate using esp8266 and 4 relays in H-bridge.
But I want to make a simple led pulsate and I haven’t succeeded so far.
This is the interesting part. How should I make it work?

output:
  - platform: gpio
    #for led blinking
    pin: GPIO2
    id: led

light:
  - platform: monochromatic
    output: led
    id: led_pulse
    effects:
      - pulse:
        name: "Slow Pulse"
        # transition_length: 1s      # defaults to 1s
        update_interval: 2s
        min_brightness: 0%
        max_brightness: 80%

I tried to test the functionality with the code below but was unsuccessful:

interval:
  - interval: 10s
    then:
      - light.toggle: led_pulse

Thanks in advance for any help!

It seems that I succeeded, after many searches.
It seems that for the output component, I had to use the esp8266_pwm platform.

output:
  - platform: esp8266_pwm
    #for led blinking
    pin: GPIO2
    id: led
