:description: Instructions for setting up Neopixel addressable lights.
:image: color_lens.png
The ``neopixelbus`` light platform allows you to create RGB lights
2021-01-11 17:46:37 +01:00
in ESPHome for an individually addressable lights like NeoPixel or WS2812.
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
It is very similar to the :doc:`fastled` platform.
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
in fact most addressable lights are supported through both light platforms. The
difference is that they use different libraries: While the fastled platform uses
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
the `FastLED <https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED>`__ library, this integration uses
the `NeoPixelBus <https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/>`__ library internally.

# Example configuration entry
light:
- platform: neopixelbus
type: GRB
pin: GPIO23
num_leds: 60
name: "NeoPixel Light"
Configuration variables:
------------------------
**Base Options:**
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the light.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **effects** (*Optional*, list): A list of :ref:`light effects <light-effects>` to use for this light.
**Type Options:**
- **type** (*Optional*, string): The type of light. This is used to specify
if it is an RGBW or RGB light and in which order the colors are. Defaults to
``GRB``. Change this if you have lights with white value and/or the colors are in the wrong order.
- **variant** (*Optional*, string): The chipset variant. You can read more about these
`here <https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/NeoPixelBus-object#neopixel-led-model-specific-methods>`__
(some of the info on that page is not entirely correct).
One of these values:
- ``800KBPS`` (default)
- ``400KBPS``
- ``WS2812X``
- ``SK6812``
- ``WS2813`` (same as ``WS2812X``)
- ``WS2812`` (same as ``800KBPS``)
- ``LC8812`` (same as ``SK6812``)
- **method** (*Optional*, string): The method to transmit the data with. You can read
more about these here: `ESP32 <https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/ESP32-NeoMethods>`__,
`ESP8266 <https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/ESP8266-NeoMethods>`__
2019-02-14 16:59:24 +01:00
- ``ESP8266_DMA`` (default for ESP8266, only on pin GPIO3)
- ``ESP8266_UART0`` (only on pin GPIO1)
- ``ESP8266_UART1`` (only on pin GPIO2)
2019-02-14 16:59:24 +01:00
- ``ESP8266_ASYNC_UART0`` (only on pin GPIO1)
- ``ESP8266_ASYNC_UART1`` (only on pin GPIO2)
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
- ``ESP32_I2S_0``
- ``ESP32_I2S_1`` (default for ESP32)
2019-02-14 16:59:24 +01:00
- ``BIT_BANG`` (can flicker a bit)
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
- **num_leds** (**Required**, int): The number of LEDs attached.
- **invert** (*Optional*, boolean): Invert data output, for use with n-type transistor. Defaults to ``no``.
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
**Pin Options:** Some chipsets have two data pins to connect, others only have one.
If you have one line, only specify ``pin``, otherwise specify both ``clock_pin`` and ``data_pin``.
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin for the data line of the light.
- **clock_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin for the clock line of the light, for two-pin lights.
- **data_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin for the data line of the light, for two-pin lights.

- All other options from :ref:`Light <config-light>`.
