Light Component
===============
The ``light`` domain in esphomeyaml 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:: yaml
on_...:
then:

.. _light-effects:
Light Effects
-------------
esphomelib 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 esphomelib gives you the option to manually change
these parameters.
With esphomelib'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:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- 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:: 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:: 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
- state: True
brightness: 100%
red: 0%
green: 100%
blue: 0%
duration: 500ms
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name of the effect. Defaults to ``Strobe``.

- **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:: 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:: yaml
light:
- platform: ...
# ...
effects:
- lambda:
name: My Custom Effect
update_interval: 1s
lambda: |-
static int state = 0;
if (state == 0) {
id(my_light).start_transition(light::LightColorValues::from_rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)));
} else if (state == 1) {
id(my_light).start_transition(light::LightColorValues::from_rgb(1.0, 0.0, 1.0)));
} else if (state == 2) {
id(my_light).start_transition(light::LightColorValues::from_rgb(0.0, 0.0, 1.0)));
} else {
id(my_light).start_transition(light::LightColorValues::from_rgb(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)));
}
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.
