:description: Instructions for setting up lights and light effects in ESPHome.
:image: folder-open.png
The ``light`` domain in ESPHome lets you create lights that will
automatically be shown in Home Assistant’s frontend and have many
features such as RGB colors, transitions, flashing and effects.
.. _light-toggle_action:
``light.toggle`` Action
-----------------------
This action toggles a light with the given ID when executed.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- light.toggle:
id: light_1
# Shorthand:
- light.toggle: light_1
Configuration options:
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the light.
- **transition_length** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The length of the transition
if the light supports it.
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(light_1).toggle();
// perform action:
call.perform();
.. _light-turn_on_action:
``light.turn_on`` Action
------------------------
This action turns a light with the given ID on when executed.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- light.turn_on:
id: light_1
brightness: 100%
red: 100%
green: 100%
blue: 1.0
# Templated
- light.turn_on:
id: light_1
brightness: !lambda |-
// output value must be in range 0 - 1.0
return id(some_sensor).state / 100.0;
# Shorthand

call.perform();
.. _light-effects:
Light Effects
-------------
ESPHome also offers a bunch of light effects you can use for your lights. The defaults for the
effect parameters are made to work well on their own but of course ESPHome gives you the option to manually change
these parameters.
With ESPHome's light effects system you're basically creating a bunch of entries for the effects dropdown in
Home Assistant. If you wish to have several variants of the same effect you can of course also create multiple
entries with each having a unique name like so:
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
# Use default parameters:
- random:
# Customize parameters
- random:
name: "My Slow Random Effect"
transition_length: 30s
update_interval: 30s
- random:
name: "My Fast Random Effect"
transition_length: 4s
update_interval: 5s
Random Effect
*************
This effect makes a transition (of length ``transition_length``) to a randomly-chosen color every ``update_interval``.
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- random:
- random:
name: Random Effect With Custom Values
transition_length: 5s
update_interval: 7s
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name of the effect. Defaults to ``Random``.
- **transition_length** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The duration of each transition to start. Defaults to ``5s``.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval with which a new color is selected and transitioned
to.
Strobe Effect
*************
This effect cycles through a list of colors with specific durations.
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- strobe:
- strobe:
name: Strobe Effect With Custom Values
colors:
- state: True
brightness: 100%
red: 100%
green: 90%
blue: 0%
duration: 500ms
- state: False
duration: 250ms

- **red** (*Optional*, percentage): The percentage that the red color should be on for RGB lights. Defaults to ``100%``.
- **green** (*Optional*, percentage): The percentage that the green color should be on for RGB lights. Defaults to ``100%``.
- **blue** (*Optional*, percentage): The percentage that the blue color should be on for RGB lights. Defaults to ``100%``.
- **white** (*Optional*, percentage): The percentage that the white color should be on for RGBW lights. Defaults to ``100%``.
- **duration** (**Required**, :ref:`config-time`): The duration this color should be active.
Flicker Effect
**************
This effect "hovers" around the active color of the light and flickers each color channel a bit.
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- flicker:
- flicker:
name: Flicker Effect With Custom Values
alpha: 95%
intensity: 1.5%
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name of the effect. Defaults to ``Flicker``.
- **alpha** (*Optional*, percentage): The percentage that the last color value should affect the light. More
or less the "forget-factor" of an exponential moving average. Defaults to ``95%``.
- **intensity** (*Optional*, percentage): The intensity of the flickering, basically the maximum amplitude of the
random offsets. Defaults to ``1.5%``.
Lambda Effect
*************
This effect allows you to write completely custom light effects yourself using :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`.
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- lambda:
name: My Custom Effect
update_interval: 1s
lambda: |-
static int state = 0;
auto call = id(my_light).turn_on();
// Transtion of 1000ms = 1s
call.set_transition_length(1000);
if (state == 0) {
call.set_rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
} else if (state == 1) {
call.set_rgb(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
} else if (state == 2) {
call.set_rgb(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
} else {
call.set_rgb(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}
call.perform();
state += 1;
if (state == 4)
state = 0;
Configuration variables:
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the custom effect.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval with which the lambda code is executed.
A value of ``0ms`` means that the lambda is always executed, without a cool-down. Defaults to ``0ms``.
- **lambda** (**Required**, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The code to execute. ``static`` variables are
especially useful.
Addressable Rainbow Effect
**************************

using the currently active light color.
- **fade_out_rate** (*Optional*, integer): The rate with which to fade out the LED strip, unitless. Needs to be carefully
chosen so that the whole strip doesn't light up forever if the fade out rate is too low or that the firework
sparks do not propagate for a long time. Defaults to ``120``.
Addressable Flicker Effect
**************************
An effect similar to the ``flicker`` effect, but for individually-addressable LED strips. This effect flickers
each LED by its own random amount around the currently active light color.

the currently active light color. Defaults to ``5%``.
Addressable Lambda Effect
*************************
This effect allows you to access each LED individually in a custom light effect.
You're passed in one variable: ``it`` - an `AddressableLight </api/classlight_1_1_addressable_light>`__
instance (see API reference for more info).
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
effects:
- addressable_lambda:
name: "My Custom Effect"
update_interval: 16ms
lambda: |-
// it.size() - Number of LEDs
// it[num] - Access the LED at index num.
// Set the LED at num to the given r, g, b values
// it[num] = light::ESPColor(r, g, b);
// Get the color at index num (ESPColor instance)
// it[num].get();
// Example: Simple color wipe
for (int i = 1; i < it.size(); i++) {
it[i] = it[i - 1].get();
}
it[0] = light::ESPColor::random_color();
Examples of this API can be found here:
https://github.com/esphome/esphome-core/blob/dev/src/esphome/light/addressable_light_effect.cpp
(the built-in addressable light effects).
