[mitch200]

i can not get the effects to show up on the light when i hold it can get the color but not the effects tap

[edwardtfn]

This is not yet supported. 😩

[mitch200]

ok do you know a way to get around it

ok do you know a way to get around it

For now I would say make and display an input boolean (pretty sure it's supported) and assign it a scene from an automation.

[edwardtfn]

I'm pretty sure scenes are also supported

[tikismoke]

I'm pretty sure scenes are also supported

Indeed it's even easier in this case as @mitch200 you could create ha scene that is just a light effect desired

[mitch200]

ok thanks i will try that

Is there any chance we will get direct support for selecting light effects from the UI rather than creating a work-around?

[edwardtfn]

There is a chance... But I cannot give you a time estimation. 😞
I don't think this is super-hard to implement, but it will require some time, which I'm struggling to find lately.
I'm working now on reorganizing the code to make it easier to maintain and hopefully lure some other developers to collaborate here.
