WLED Automation: Effect Configuration Assistance

General
1

Hi everyone! :wave: I’m hoping someone can help me out with setting up a WLED automation. I’ve got a few WLED lights in my home, and I want to create a welcoming effect when I arrive. I’ve managed to get the basic automation working, but when I try to add more details like the effect speed, I run into issues.

Here’s what my current setup looks like:

yaml

  • id: ‘coming home dave’
    alias: ‘coming home dave’
    description: ‘police effect when coming home’
    trigger:
    • platform: mqtt
      topic: zigbee2mqtt/xiaomi_schalter_wohnzimmer
      condition:
    • condition: template
      value_template: ‘{{ “left_double” == trigger.payload_json.click }}’
      action:
    • data:
      scene_id: coming_home_dave_revert
      snapshot_entities: ‘light.wled_haus,light.wled_anhangerschuppen_2’
      service: scene.create
    • data:
      effect: ‘Colorful’
      speed: 200
      entity_id: light.wled_haus
      service: wled.effect
    • delay: 00:00:04
    • data:
      entity_id: scene.coming_home_dave_revert
      service: scene.turn_on

The issue is that when I include the speed parameter, the lights don’t turn on as expected. I’ve tried different values for speed and even removed it to see if that helps, but no luck so far. I’m not sure if I’m using the correct service or if there’s a different way to apply the effect with additional parameters.

Has anyone successfully configured WLED effects with parameters like speed or intensity? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated! :blush:
