I am trying to create an automation that chages a colour light bulb to the next color setting in a dropdown list. I have used a couple blueprints that do this, but I do not have a clue to turn this into lovelace automation.
I’m just trying to figure out how you want/need this automation to work… so far we know there’s a light and a color selection dropdown, but you haven’t provided enough info for us to know how they already relate to each other, how they need to function in relation to one another, what will trigger the automation, what conditions need to be met, etc.
Ah, sorry not enough coffee when I replied before.
We can start with a clean slate. I have a color lightbulb, and a remote switch with a spare button.
What I was hoping to have happen is for the light to go through a colour change with each press of the button. If something like this exists already I can use that. Like I said I have the blueprint for an IKEA switch, but too much of a NOOB here to know how to change it.
If you are already using the blueprint for other button functions on the remote, you probably don’t need an automation but a script. Scripts can be called like a service from a blueprint, automation, or dashboard button.
In your blueprint, you would then find the option for the button in question and select a Call Service action with script.change_input_select_update_light_color as the service.
