Add Value Source

Name:

A descriptive name for this value source

Type:

Static outputs a constant value. Animated cycles through a waveform. Audio reacts to sound input.

Value: 1.0

Constant output value (0.0 = off, 1.0 = full brightness)

Waveform:

Shape of the brightness animation cycle

Speed (cpm): 10

Cycles per minute — how fast the waveform repeats (1 = very slow, 120 = very fast)

Min Value: 0

Minimum output of the waveform cycle

Max Value: 1

Maximum output of the waveform cycle

Audio Source:

Mono audio source to read audio levels from

Mode:

RMS measures average volume. Peak tracks loudest moments. Beat triggers on rhythm.

Auto Gain:

Automatically normalize audio levels so output uses the full range, regardless of input volume Enable auto-gain

Sensitivity: 1.0

Gain multiplier for the audio signal (higher = more reactive)

Smoothing: 0.3

Temporal smoothing (0 = instant response, 1 = very smooth/slow)

Min Value: 0

Output when audio is silent (e.g. 0.3 = 30% brightness floor)

Max Value: 1

Output at maximum audio level

Schedule:

Define at least 2 time points. Brightness interpolates linearly between them, wrapping at midnight.

Picture Source:

The picture source whose frames will be analyzed for average brightness.

Behavior:

Complement: dark scene = high brightness (ideal for ambient backlight). Match: bright scene = high brightness.

Sensitivity: 1.0

Gain multiplier for the luminance signal (higher = more reactive to brightness changes)

Smoothing: 0.3

Temporal smoothing (0 = instant response, 1 = very smooth transitions)

Speed: 1.0

Cycle speed multiplier. 1.0 = full day/night cycle in ~4 minutes.

Use Real Time:

When enabled, brightness follows the actual time of day. Speed is ignored. Follow wall clock

Latitude: 50°

Your geographic latitude (-90 to 90). Affects sunrise/sunset timing in real-time mode.

Color:

Colors:

Speed (cpm): 10.0

Easing:

Color Schedule:

HA Connection:

Home Assistant connection to read entities from

Entity:

HA entity ID (e.g. sensor.temperature)

Attribute (optional):

Read a specific attribute instead of the entity state

Min HA Value: 0

Raw HA value that maps to 0% output

Max HA Value: 100

Raw HA value that maps to 100% output

Smoothing: 0

Temporal smoothing (0 = instant, 1 = very smooth)

Input Value Source:

Float value source (0-1) to map through the gradient

Gradient:

Select a gradient preset to map through

Interpolation:

Color Strip Source:

Color strip source to extract color from

LED Start:

First LED in the range (0-based)

LED End:

Last LED in the range (-1 = whole strip)

Min Value: 0

Minimum output brightness

Max Value: 1

Maximum output brightness
