RGB Light: Custom Effects
-
Anyone figured out how to trigger an update + sending of V_VAR1 / V_VAR2 from home assistant to a node?
My goal is to trigger custom effects in a mysensor-RGB node.
(Yes, I know my sketch could present switches to allow triggering of the effects but I wanted to learn more how HA mySensor integration works and maybe couple with HA's existing 'effect_list' attribute for RGB lights).

@rvendrame
I think you should start with presenting a sensor as S_CUSTOM with V_VAR1 as described here
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor.mysensors/
That should show up in HA and from there you can control the values from HA.
I hope this helps. -
@electrik , thanks for the directions. Yes the S_CUSTOM does show up in HA --- But how to change its value there? I can set different values in dev tools UI, but that is known to be temporary (it lasts only until next refresh from integration), and changing it there does not trigger a V_VAR1 message from HA back to node...
