A Home Assistant custom card for managing Magic Home lighting effects

🥳 Magic Home Party (Custom Card)

A Home Assistant custom card providing a palette for your Magic Home integration lighting effects.

Motivation

I love my Magic Home integration strips, they're inexpensive and effective. After a failed attempt and writing my own python gradual transition effect I discovered the device could do it for me with a custom effect! Choosing and experimenting with the colours was awkward though - going from colour wheels to yaml and back - so I made this card to make the experience more enjoyable.

Single-clicking a colour chip from the palette will set all your configured lights to this colour - double-clicking any will add it to the sequence.

Installation

Configure your Magic Home lights as per normal in homeassistant. If you don't recognise this logo, this integration may not target your lights.
