EverLights


EverLights are permanent Christmas lights installed on a home’s gutters or flashing. This integration can change all LEDs in a zone to a single color or activate a pattern that was previously saved to the control box.

Configuration details

To enable EverLights, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
  - platform: everlights
    hosts:
      - 192.168.1.123
      - 192.168.1.124

Configuration Variables

hosts list Required

EverLights control box IP addresses.

Effects

EverLights patterns saved to the control box can be activated using the effect parameter to the light.turn_on service. If an effect is specified, then the color and brightness are ignored.

Limitations

The EverLights control box status indicates if a zone is active but does not indicate the current color or pattern. The color and effect in the state attributes are based on the last execution of light.turn_on. If the control box scheduler or another app makes a change, then the state attributes are not updated.
