EverLights are permanent Christmas lights installed on a home's gutters or flashing. This integration can change all LEDs in a zone to a single color or activate a pattern that was previously saved to the control box.
Configuration details
To enable EverLights, add the following lines to your {% term "configuration.yaml
" %} file.
{% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}
# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
- platform: everlights
hosts:
- 192.168.1.123
- 192.168.1.124
{% configuration %} hosts: description: EverLights control box IP addresses. required: true type: list {% endconfiguration %}
Effects
EverLights patterns saved to the control box can be activated using the effect parameter to the light.turn_on
action. If an effect is specified, then the color and brightness are ignored.
Limitations
The EverLights control box status indicates if a zone is active but does not indicate the current color or pattern. The color and effect in the state attributes are based on the last execution of light.turn_on
. If the control box scheduler or another app makes a change, then the state attributes are not updated.
