LED integration

[wilhel1812]

I would love for the LED lights in my printer to be accessible from Home Assistant.

For now, you can control the lights to an extent using macros, but Home Assistant is so good at controlling lights, so a native integration would be much better.

Any lights in the config should be exposed to HA as a typical Light bulb. That way, you can match the colors with the other lights in your room, control them with Siri through HomeKit etc. As with anything HA, your imagination is the limit…

FWIW the Bambu plugin does this very well.

For my Creality K1, the LED is exposed as a pin output and I can control it by adjusting the number similar how I do the fans.
I'm using the below template to translate this to a light.

`light:

• platform: template
  lights:
  k1_led:
  friendly_name: "K1 LED Strip"
  value_template: >-
  {% if states('number.creality_k1_output_pin_led')|float > 0 %}
  on
  {% else %}
  off
  {% endif %}
  icon_template: >-
  {% if states('number.creality_k1_output_pin_led')|float > 0 %}
  mdi:led-strip-variant
  {% else %}
  mdi:led-strip-variant-off
  {% endif %}
  level_template: >-
  {% if states('number.creality_k1_output_pin_led')|float > 0 %}
  {{states('number.creality_k1_output_pin_led')|float/100*255|int}}
  {% else %}
  "0"
  {% endif %}
  turn_on:
  service: number.set_value
  target:
  entity_id: number.creality_k1_output_pin_led
  data:
  value: "100"
  turn_off:
  service: number.set_value
  target:
  entity_id: number.creality_k1_output_pin_led
  data:
  value: "0"
  set_level:
  service: number.set_value
  target:
  entity_id: number.creality_k1_output_pin_led
  data:
  value: "{{ (brightness / 255 * 100)|int }}"`

Personnaly i just created a boolean entity, and under nodered, when this boolean change, i call the light macro...

So you can do whatever you want, but no change color since recognazed only as button

I also would like to vote for this one: it would be great if it could be treated as a light entity for the purposes of automation of the room and such!
