Hey everyone, I’m working on integrating a custom RGBWW LED strip into my Home Assistant setup using MQTT autodiscovery. I’ve set up the JSON configuration as shown below, but I’m running into an issue where the effects aren’t showing up in the UI. The LED strip itself is discovered, and I can control the on/off, brightness, and colors without any problems. However, there’s no option to select any of the predefined effects like ‘ColorWheel1’ or ‘Fade’.
I’m wondering if I’m missing something in the configuration or if there’s an additional step I need to take within the Home Assistant GUI. I’ve double-checked the topics and payloads, and everything seems to be correctly formatted. Could it be a compatibility issue with the version of Home Assistant I’m using? Or perhaps there’s a specific service call or automation I need to set up to trigger the effects?
Here’s the JSON configuration I’m using:
{
“dev”: {
“name”: “Test ColorLED Effect”,
“model”: “Controllino”,
“manufacturer”: “phixom”,
“identifiers”: “ctl_left”
},
“name”: “Test ColorLED Effect”,
“unique_id”: “1001_light”,
“state_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/state”,
“command_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/set”,
“brightness”: true,
“brightness_state_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/brightness/state”,
“brightness_command_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/brightness/set”,
“payload_on”: “true”,
“payload_off”: “false”,
“rgbww”: true,
“rgbww_command_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/rgbww/set”,
“supported_color_modes”: [
“rgbww”,
“effect”,
“brightness”
],
“effect”: true,
“effect_state_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/effect/state”,
“effect_command_topic”: “homeassistant/light/controllino-test/1001/effect/set”,
“effect_list”: [
“ColorWheel1”,
“ColorWheel2”,
“Fade”,
“Random”
]
}
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m really excited to get this working, as it would add a whole new level of customization to my lighting setup. Thanks in advance for your help!
