Sonoff L1 RGB UART Component for ESPHome
This is based on the amazing work by:
- Emory Dunn and his custom light component
- Theo Arends and his amazing Tasmota project, which includes Sonoff L1 support
- Anatoly Savchenkov and his Sonoff D1 component
- ESPHome project
While Emory's implementation works, I still wanted to have bidirectional serial communication so changes with the IR remote would be reflected back to Home Assistant. Furthermore, I wanted to have a more streamlined development process and not having to copy files to the HA server every time I made a change, so custom component was the way to go.
Configure the ESPHome device with the YAML found in example.yaml. Update the instance name to your preference and configure
OTA, Wi-Fi, etc. per your needs. All light parameters, like gamma correct and transition time should work as well.
Compile and upload the firmware to your device.
This is my first attempt at an ESPHome custom component, so it is far from being perfect. Furthermore, it's my first time ever writing C++, so it might be a weird mix of vectors and strings, but my objective was to get it to work.
I'm ofcourse open to suggestions, forks and improvements.
Use at your own peril.
