: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.
This component restores its state on reboot/reset.
.. _config-light:
Base Light Configuration
------------------------
All light configuration schemas inherit these options.
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
Configuration variables:
- **effects** (*Optional*, list): A list of :ref:`light effects <light-effects>` to use for this light.
- **gamma_correct** (*Optional*, float): Apply a `gamma correction
factor <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction>`__ to the light channels.
Defaults to ``2.8``.
- **default_transition_length** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The default transition length
to use when no transition length is set in the light call. Defaults to ``1s``.
- **restore_mode** (*Optional*): Control how the GPIO Switch attempts to restore state on bootup.
For restoring on ESP8266s, also see ``esp8266_restore_from_flash`` in the
:doc:`esphome section </components/esphome>`.
- ``RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF`` (Default) - Attempt to restore state and default to OFF if not possible to restore.
- ``RESTORE_DEFAULT_ON`` - Attempt to restore state and default to ON.
- ``ALWAYS_OFF`` - Always initialize the light as OFF on bootup.
- ``ALWAYS_ON`` - Always initialize the light as ON on bootup.
- **on_turn_on** (*Optional*, :ref:`Action <config-action>`): An automation to perform
when the light is turned on. See :ref:`light-on_turn_on_off_trigger`.
- **on_turn_off** (*Optional*, :ref:`Action <config-action>`): An automation to perform
when the light is turned off. See :ref:`light-on_turn_on_off_trigger`.
Additional Configuration variables for addressable lights:
- **color_correct** (*Optional*, list of float): Apply a color correction to each color channel.
This defines the maximum brightness of each channel. For example ``[100%, 50%, 100%]`` would set the
green channel to be at most at 50% brightness.
- **power_supply** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The :doc:`/components/power_supply` to connect to
this light. When the light is turned on, the power supply will automatically be switched on too.
Advanced options:
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
- If MQTT enabled, all other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
.. _light-toggle_action:
``light.toggle`` Action
***********************
This action toggles a light with the given ID when executed.

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.

on_...:
then:
- light.turn_on:
id: light_1
brightness: 100%
red: 100%
green: 100%
blue: 1.0
# Templated

- **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.
- **brightness** (*Optional*, percentage, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The brightness of the light. Must be in range
``0%`` to ``100%`` or ``0.0`` to ``1.0``. Defaults to not changing brightness.
- **red** (*Optional*, percentage, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The red channel of the light. Must be in range
``0%`` to ``100%`` or ``0.0`` to ``1.0``. Defaults to not changing red.

``0%`` to ``100%`` or ``0.0`` to ``1.0``. Defaults to not changing green channel.
- **blue** (*Optional*, percentage, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The blue channel of the light. Must be in range
``0%`` to ``100%`` or ``0.0`` to ``1.0``. Defaults to not changing blue channel.
- **white** (*Optional*, percentage, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The white channel value of RGBW lights. Must be in range
``0%`` to ``100%`` or ``0.0`` to ``1.0``. Defaults to not changing white value.
- **color_temperature** (*Optional*, float, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The white color temperature value (in `mireds <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mired>`__ or Kelvin) for CWWW / RGBWW lights. Defaults to not changing the color temperature value.
- **flash_length** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): If set, will flash the given color
for this period of time and then go back to the previous state.
- **effect** (*Optional*, string, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): If set, will attempt to
start an effect with the given name.
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:

// set parameters (optional)
call.set_transition_length(1000); // in ms
call.set_brightness(1.0); // 1.0 is full brightness
call.set_rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); // color, 1.0 is fully lit
call.set_effect("The Effect");
// perform action:
call.perform();
.. note::
The ``red``, ``green`` and ``blue`` values only control the color of the light, not its
brightness! If you assign ``50%`` to all RGB channels it will be interpreted as 100% on.
Only use ``brightness`` to control the brightness of the light.
.. _light-turn_off_action:
``light.turn_off`` Action

- **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).turn_off();
// set parameters (optional)
call.set_transition_length(1000); // in ms
// perform action:
call.perform();
.. _light-control_action:
``light.control`` Action
************************
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` is a generic call to change the state of a light - it

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``.

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] = ESPColor(r, g, b);
// Get the color at index num (ESPColor instance)
// it[num].get();
// Example: Simple color wipe
for (int i = it.size() - 1; i > 0; i--) {
it[i] = it[i - 1].get();
}
it[0] = ESPColor::random_color();
// Bonus: use .range() and .all() to set many LEDs without having to write a loop.
it.range(0, 50) = ESPColor::BLACK;
it.all().fade_to_black(10);
.. code-block:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
effects:
- addressable_lambda:
name: "My Custom Effect"
update_interval: 16ms
lambda: |-
// Static variables keep their value even when
// stopping and starting the effect again
static uint16_t progress = 0;
// normal variables lost their value after each
// execution - basically after each update_interval
uint16_t changes = 0;
// To reset static when stopping and starting the effect
// again you can use the initial_run variables
if (initial_run) {
progress = 0;
it.all() = ESPColor::BLACK;
// optionally do a return so nothing happens until the next update_interval
return;
}
Examples of this API can be found here:
https://github.com/esphome/esphome/blob/dev/esphome/components/light/addressable_light_effect.h
(the built-in addressable light effects).
Automation Light Effect
***********************
Additionally to the ``lambda`` and ``addressable_lambda`` light effects, effects can also
be written through ESPHome's :ref:`Automation <automation>` system with the ``automation``
effect type.
The automation given in the ``sequence`` block will be repeatedly executed until the effect
is stopped by the user.

name: Custom Automation Effect
sequence:
- light.addressable_set:
id: my_light
red: 100%
green: 100%
blue: 100%
- delay: 100ms

- **method** (*Optional*): Listening method, one of ``multicast`` or ``unicast``. Defaults to ``multicast``.
- **universe** (*Required*, integer): The value of universe, between 1 to 512.
- **channels** (*Optional*): The type of data. This is used to specify if it is a ``MONO``,
``RGB`` or ``RGBW`` light and in which order the colors are. Defaults to ``RGB``.
There are three modes of operation:
- `MONO`: this supports 1 channel per LED (luminance), up-to 512 LEDs per universe
- `RGB`: this supports 3 channels per LED (RGB), up-to 170 LEDs (3*170 = 510 bytes) per universe
- `RGBW`: this supports 4 channels per LED (RGBW), up-to 128 LEDs (4*128 = 512 bytes) per universe
If there's more LEDs than allowed per-universe, additional universe will be used.
In the above example of 189 LEDs, first 170 LEDs will be assigned to 1 universe,
the rest of 19 LEDs will be automatically assigned to 2 universe.
It is possible to enable multiple light platforms to listen to the same universe concurrently,
allowing to replicate the behaviour on multiple strips.
