Setting Up Multi-Color Pickers for MQTT-Controlled LED Lights

Hey everyone, I’m diving into a fun project with my Arduino/ESP8266 setup and WS2811 (NeoPixel) string lights. I’ve got the basics working with some existing code, but I’m looking to take it to the next level by creating a user-friendly interface with three color pickers. The goal is to set up simple animations, like a candy cane effect or a rotating color sequence. While I’m confident in handling the Arduino side, I’m curious about the best way to structure the UI. Should I create three separate MQTT lights or is there a more streamlined approach? I’ve heard about something akin to an ‘input_number’ but for colors—any insights would be awesome! :star2:
