WLED and Light effect

Hi there, I have the following automation running based of a google calendar event, it looks at the google calendar uk Holidays for the event Xmas lights if it is found it then triggers the scene. However, what I want to know is as follows below.

How can i change the template value so it checks today’s data against the calendar event and if they do not match then when i press execute to test send a notification to HA saying date not yet reached., yet if the date does match and the event name matches the action fires.

second thing is I want within 1 scene various effects to transition between each other lexample rainbow chase for 3 minutes, then to Christmas light effect next etc.

Thirdly and I would want the lights to come on when the sun is going down etc come on for 4 or 5 hours cycling through the effects. Hope this makes sense. ir can the time be controlled through time settings within google calendar itself.

alias: Calendar lights
  description: Turn on Christmas lights
  trigger:
  - entity_id: calendar.holidays_in_united_kingdom
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{is_state_attr(''calendar.holidays_in_united_kingdom'', ''message'',
      ''Christmas Lights'') }}'
  action:
  - scene: scene.calendar_lights
  mode: single
  1. Can you clarify?
  2. Use - delay: '00:01:00' in the middle of the scenes.
  3. Use the sun trigger.

Do you have an example yaml file

Good morning

Is it possible to create 1 scene with multiple light effects, playing one after the other on a loop etc. for the set period that is in the calendar entity that it trigged from

As my trigger will turn on a light scene with uses WLED and a selected pallet and effect. This scene is activated by an event in my calendar that says Christmas light. And activates if the state of the event is on.

What I want to happen is

The scene runs a rainbow effect for say 3 minutes, then transition to fade effect etc.
