How to restore LED Notification in Home Assistant

Product Support Platform Help

I’m looking for help with a Home Assistant automation. I’d like to know how to save the current settings for the LED notification effect and color when changing them temporarily. When the event is over, I want to restore them to what they were previously.

You probably need to create trigger-based template sensors into which to store the state of the LED bar and individual LEDs whenever they change. You would store the previous values that you want to return to using the old_state.state of the events when the LEDs change. Then you would refer to these template sensors to restore the state when you’re done with your temporary LED status.

I have my Inovelli Blues integrated via MQTT, so I don’t know what it might look like in Z-Wave, Matter, or ZHA.

The overall LED bar is in this sensor:

If the state is empty, it’s at default values.

The individual LEDs if you change them individually are in this sensor:

I generally update all of the individual LEDs in order, so mine almost always shows the value of LED 7.

The events for the individual LEDs look like this (all 7 events shown):

event_type: state_changed

  entity_id: sensor.living_room_fan_light_dimmer_individual_led_effect
