I am trying to write an addressable LED device handler for WS2812B strips (using a particle photon).
The one existing project I found worked… sort of. But didn’t do close to the amount of things that I wanted.
I am struggling to find a way to make a device handler that can let me adjust brightness as well as speed.
My ideal device handler looks something like this:
__________________________________________________________
| ON | Rainbow | 3 color fade |
| OFF | | (Choose colors) |
__________________________________________________________
| Brightness | Pattern X | Pattern Y |
| (Slider) | | |
__________________________________________________________
| Speed |
| (Slider) |
I can’t seem to find out how to include two silders that reference different variables.
Anyone able to lend a hand?
Bonus question,
I am using a particle photon to run the lights, and will be having to push the commands via the API. How would you pass the brightness variable to the API?
For example, I know I can do this:
standardTile("rainbow", "device.rainbow") {
state "rainbow", label: '${name}', action: "rainbow", icon: "st.Lighting.light13", backgroundColor: "#d3ffd3", iconColor: "#ffffff"
}
Assuming I had a “rainbow” function, obviously, but I dont know how to get the variable out to the function.
