I’ve got the new Nanoleaf Shapes, and I’ve added them into HA manually.
I’ve got a scene that I’d like to turn on and set to different brightnesses throughout the day, however I can’t find any documentation on how to do this?
add this to your configuration.yaml. Fill ‘YOURLOCALPANELIP’ and ‘YOURTOKEN’ with your values. To get your token go to: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nanoleaf/
shell_command:
nanoleaf_brightness: "curl -X PUT -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d '{\"brightness\" : {\"value\":{{ brightness }} }}' \"http://YOURLOCALPANELIP:16021/api/v1/YOURTOKEN/state/\""
nanoleaf_scene: "curl -X PUT -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d '{\"select\" : \"{{ scene }}\"}' \"http://YOURLOCALPANELIP:16021/api/v1/YOURTOKEN/effects/\""
Script example:
nanoleaf_scene:
alias: Nanoleaf scene
sequence:
- service: shell_command.nanoleaf_scene
data:
scene: 'shooting stars'
nanoleaf_brightness:
alias: Nanoleaf brightness
sequence:
- service: shell_command.nanoleaf_brightness
data:
brightness: 95

This seems a little primitive. Lots of variable repetition etc.
Is there nothing a little more elegant?
If you find it, let me know.
That looks pretty elegant to me
you don’t need to create a script for every scene if that is what you mean with that. The script is just an example. You can do the following whithin any automation/script/whatever:
- service: shell_command.nanoleaf_scene
data:
scene: 'name of your scene here'
I use this in all my automations:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.nanoleaf
brightness_pct: 30
effect: '20MinSunset'

I read that somewhere but I had no success 
I wonder if the scene needs to be uri encoded or spaces removed
Did you add the Nanoleaf into HA?
Push the on button for 5 seconds on Nanoleaf then on command line:
curl -i -X POST http://192.168.1.155:16021/api/v1/new
(IP number must be the one of Nanoleaf
You get a token then something like this: mFEqo1l7AdheueCcXtbmXi8pb4AJQXXs
- platform: nanoleaf
host: 192.168.100.61
token: HERE_THE_TOKEN
If everything is ok. You get a light.nanoleaf
then you can turn it on and if everything is ok you see this.
Hit effect and you get a list of all scene from Nanoleaf itself.
If this is working then the automation part:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.nanoleaf
brightness_pct: 30
effect: 'clouds'
Yep I’ve done that. I can control it like that, but I don’t have my scenes like you do 
My scenes are definitely in the app 
So when you push the Nanoleaf in HA you don’t see the screen I post?
This screenshot is from the Nanoleaf App on your phone.
You don’t use your phone…
If everything went ok, all scenes imported to HA:
Purple Rain, Starlight, sundown, etc…
I’ve just seen an issue, seems they’re reconnected by homekit so assuming that’s overwriting it.
Let me remove the homekit version again…
I have also my 2 Nanoleaf’s in Homekit.
Thats probably not the issue. But you can try…
I’ve removed the HomeKit integration, my config has the settings above, I’ve rebooted by theres no nanoleaf in my devices
Show your configuration platform part. (replace your token for public)
The IP is correct?
Ah, I think it might just have needed some time.
I can see the entity now, as well as all the effects
Thanks!

entity_id: light.nanoleaf
brightness_pct: 30
effect: 'Sundown'
Try this !
Remember the effect name must be exact same name. So include capital letters.

That’s what I was looking for!
I really could use some help with this. I added the shell command to my configuration.yaml. But when I they the script example (with a valid scene name) in a yaml script or automation, all I get is the error: Message malformed: Unable to determine action @ data[‘sequence’][0]
anyone experienced this to and know how to fix this?
