Whenever I call the WLED Set Effect service from within an Automation, I am unable to choose which device or entity I want to apply the effect to.
Did you try to do the same from the developer console? Please do cache reset shift+F5 and then try
Just tried from the developer console and it’s exactly the same, even after a Shift+F5
Are you able to see the device in the device tab of developer console?
Also instead of UI, please try the yaml method in developer console
I can see the device on the States tab of the Developer Tools if that’s what you mean…?
Not tried yaml method yet but somebody on Reddit has advised that this worked for them, so might try that soon.
It must be a bug. But I am able to control the wled with yaml mode like this.
service: wled.effect
data:
effect: police
intensity: 100
palette: Tiamat
speed: 150
entity_id: light.wled
After copying this in yaml mode, if you go back to UI mode, you can see the entity selected there.
Yeah, that works for me as well so that should suffice for now - thanks.
