Want random dimming with 8 LED channels

ESPHome
1

Hello,

I don’t know if it is possible, so I ask here:
I have a ESP32 with 8 mosfets attached for dimming 8 LED strands. At the moment they are all set to the same level, but I would like to have some dynamic lighting.
The set level in HA should be the average light level. All individual levels should be pending around that value (maybe with different transition times). I want a setting of 70 to result in (62,58,74,77,68,65,71,85) transitioning to (73,55,59,71,79,80,63,80). Can that somehow be accomplished?

Regards,

Can you share your existing ESPHome code?

Of cause I can…
