Custom Light Output
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This integration can be used to create custom lights in ESPHome
|
|
using the C++ (Arduino) API.
|
|
|
|
Please first read :doc:`/components/sensor/custom` guide,
|
|
the same principles apply here.
|
|
|
|
All internal stuff (like effects, transitions etc) is handled by the light core
|
|
and cannot be overridden. Light outputs are only responsible for displaying some state
|
|
when asked to do so.
|
|
|
|
The example below is an example of a custom light output.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
#include "esphome.h"
|
|
|
|
class MyCustomLightOutput : public Component, public LightOutput {
|
|
public:
|
|
void setup() override {
|
|
// This will be called by App.setup()
|
|
pinMode(5, INPUT);
|
|
}
|
|
LightTraits get_traits() override {
|
|
// return the traits this light supports
|
|
auto traits = LightTraits();
|
|
traits.set_supports_brightness(true);
|
|
traits.set_supports_rgb(true);
|
|
traits.set_supports_rgb_white_value(false);
|
|
traits.set_supports_color_temperature(false);
|
|
return traits;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
void write_state(LightState *state) override {
|
|
// This will be called by the light to get a new state to be written.
|
|
float red, green, blue;
|
|
// use any of the provided current_values methods
|
|
state->current_values_as_rgb(&red, &green, &blue);
|
|
// Write red, green and blue to HW
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
(Store this file in your configuration directory, for example ``my_light.h``)
|
|
|
|
And in YAML:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
esphome:
|
|
includes:
|
|
- my_cover.h
|
|
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: custom
|
|
lambda: |-
|
|
auto light_out = new MyCustomLightOutput();
|
|
App.register_component(light_out);
|
|
return {light_out};
|
|
|
|
lights:
|
|
- name: "My Custom Light"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **lambda** (**Required**, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to run for instantiating the
|
|
light output(s).
|
|
- **lights** (**Required**, list): A list of lights to initialize. The length here
|
|
must equal the number of items in the ``return`` statement of the ``lambda``.
|
|
|
|
- All options from :ref:`Light <config-light>`.
|
|
|
