This might be a stupid idea, but I would like to see if we can get the Pimoroni Unicorn libs integrated into HA or HASSIO so we can send messages to the Unicorn family of hats (e.g. when automations run, when there’s an update available, general status updates, etc).
If this has already been done or if someone can figure out how to do this, please let me know.
I’d really like this too, i’ve got a couple i’ve been playing with for a different project and they’d be great to display simple updates or the output of sensors!
That would be awesome. I have a Unicorn Hat HD lying around and it would be pretty nice to see some nice animations, updates or just a little face for HA.
Since there’s a Home Assistant Homekit integration, why wouldn’t this work?

The Python script is not passing pixel-level commands, but it’ll let you know you can control brightness and hue. I had one working with the Apple Home app on an iPhone.
