🚀 Usage

Once configured, SignalRGB will appear as several entities in Home Assistant:

• 💠 Light Entity: Control power, brightness, and effects
• 📐 Layout Selector: Change between different layouts
• ⚙️ Effect Preset Selector: Apply presets for the current effect
• ⏯️ Button Entities: Navigate through effects (next, previous, random)

💠 Light Entity

The main light entity allows you to:

• 💡 Turn it on/off
• 🎨 Select different effects from the effect list
• 🔆 Adjust the brightness of your entire SignalRGB setup
• 🏠 Include it in automations, scripts, and scenes

Example automation:

automation:
  - alias: "Gaming Time"
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.gaming_pc_status
      to: "on"
    action:
      - service: light.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: light.signalrgb
        data:
          effect: "Cyberpunk 2077"
          brightness: 255

📐 Layout Selector

The layout selector allows you to switch between different device layouts in SignalRGB:

# Example service call to change layout
service: select.select_option
target:
  entity_id: select.signalrgb_layout
data:
  option: "My Gaming Setup"

Example automation to switch layouts based on time of day:

automation:
  - alias: "Evening Gaming Setup"
    trigger:
      platform: time
      at: "20:00:00"
    action:
      - service: select.select_option
        target:
          entity_id: select.signalrgb_layout
        data:
          option: "Gaming Setup"
      - service: light.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: light.signalrgb
        data:
          effect: "Ambient Waves"
          brightness: 200

⚙️ Effect Preset Selector

Apply different presets for the current effect:

# Example service call to apply a preset
service: select.select_option
target:
  entity_id: select.signalrgb_effect_preset
data:
  option: "Rainbow"

Example script to set up a movie night ambiance:

script:
  movie_night:
    alias: "Movie Night Lighting"
    sequence:
      - service: light.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: light.signalrgb
        data:
          effect: "Audio Visualizer"
      - delay: 00:00:02 # Wait for effect to load
      - service: select.select_option
        target:
          entity_id: select.signalrgb_effect_preset
        data:
          option: "Subtle Pulse"
      - service: light.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: light.signalrgb
        data:
          brightness: 128

⏯️ Effect Navigation Buttons

Use the button entities to navigate through effects:

# Example service call to go to the next effect
service: button.press
target:
  entity_id: button.signalrgb_next_effect

# Example service call to go to a random effect
service: button.press
target:
  entity_id: button.signalrgb_random_effect

Example automation to cycle through effects every hour:

automation:
  - alias: "Hourly Effect Change"
    trigger:
      platform: time_pattern
      hours: "*"
    condition:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: light.signalrgb
        state: "on"
    action:
      - service: button.press
        target:
          entity_id: button.signalrgb_next_effect

Example dashboard button card configuration:

type: button
name: Next Effect
icon: mdi:skip-next
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: button.press
  target:
    entity_id: button.signalrgb_next_effect
