Effect Presets (Hardcoded Defaults)

You can hardcode specific settings for each effect directly in the YAML. This is useful if you want an effect to always start with a specific speed, color palette, or intensity, regardless of the global controls.

Use the set_* parameters (e.g., set_speed, set_palette) to enforce these values.

Example

    effects:
      - addressable_cfx:
          name: "Custom Meteor"
          effect_id: 76
          set_speed: 70             # Slowing down the animation 
          set_palette: 12           # Force 'Fire' palette (ID 5), Because everybody loves a good fireball 
          set_intensity: 170        # Longer tail 
          set_mirror: true          # Enable mirroring
          set_intro: 3              # Set Intro to Center
          set_intro_dur: 2.5        # Set Intro execution time to 2.5 seconds
          set_intro_palette: true   # Instruct Intro to use the palette we selected with set_palette
          set_timer: 30             # Set the timer to turn off the light after 30 minutes

Parameters

  • set_speed: (0-255) Sets the default speed.
  • set_intensity: (0-255) Sets the default intensity.
  • set_palette: (0-255) Sets the default palette ID. See here for a list of available palettes.
  • set_mirror: (true/false) Sets the default mirror state. It will affect both intro and main effect.
  • set_intro: (Int) Sets the default Intro effect index (0=None, 1=Wipe, 2=Fade, 3=Center, 4=Glitter).
  • set_intro_dur: (Float) Sets the intro duration in seconds with a minimum of 0.5 seconds and a maximum of 10 seconds.
  • set_intro_palette: (true/false) Enable/Disable using the effect palette for the Intro.
  • set_timer: (Int) Sets the sleep timer in minutes (e.g., 30 for 30min), where 0 means no timer. The maximum allowed value is 360 minutes.
