Hi Aircoookie
Again - The WLED is one of the coolest projects I have seen for a long time…
I would very much like to have a “Fake TV” effect, it will harmonize perfect with HASSIO integration with WLEDs spread all around my house.
Vacation mode:
Sun below horizon: Lam ON
19:30 turn on WLED-living room - Effect “Fake TV”
22:10 turn on WLED-living room - Effect solid, low light
k.r. Niels
Can’t you simply send the URL for a random effect you previously configured and saved as a preset for both situations? Preset 10 : Fake TV, Preset 11, Subdued steady light
I added this to the list of effects to add! This one is quite simple (set LEDs to a random, not very saturated color with a random delay), so it probably won’t take very long.
Hi Hyggy.
I Do not have any “Fake TV” effect 
Of the 90+ effects built into WLED, are there none that with speed and color transition settings does not look like a TV (at least from outside the home)? Have you experimented any in the last week to see if anything you already have works and perhaps suggest to aircookie an effect coupled with specific settings that fairly approximate what you are requesting?
For example, if you found an effect (along with the settings) that is pretty close, post here so he has a starting point for what an effective Fake TV effect might feel like.
There are some arduino sketches doing something similar
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/85/phoneytv-for-vera-is-here/14
probably just take the logic from that, and apply it to setting a percentage of the RGB leds to similar colors with a similar twitch…
This is currently outside the scope of what I have time to dive into, but I would like this effect too if anyone ever gets around to implementing it.
Took a stab at converting from PWM controlled analog RGB strip to addressable LED strip, which means it’s a pretty “dumb” strip effect if you are home watching it.
There should be much room for optimization and better use of existing code & variables to accomplish the same tasks noted in comments @Aircookie

}

previousMillis = currentMillis;
lightChangeInterval = random(750, 4001); //Adjusts the interval for more/less frequent random light changes

dipCount = dipCount++;
}
if (currentMillis - previousMillis < twitch) {
// time to adjust entire strip color & brightness
color.r = random(0,255);
color.g = random(0,255);

} else { phoneyTVstate = false
if (phoneyTVstate != oldPhoneyTVstate) {

}
}
oldPhoneyTVstate = phoneyTVstate;
return FRAMETIME;
}
void isItTimeToDip(bool dipTime) {
timeToDip = dipTime;
if (dipTime) {
dipCount = 0;
dipStartTime = millis();
darkTime = random(50, 150);
dipInterval = random(5, 250);
}
}This looks like a good starting point!
I’ll get something like it implemented soon 
Looking forward to the implementation 
Made my first OTA update today… no problem
I tried this today with the latest release of WLED and it had a ton of errors that I don’t know how to fix
Some errors were obvious to fix, but then as the ones below are fixed, there were about 7 others that came up that I didn’t know how to fix.
Looking forward to getting this integrated though!

I’m not at all clear on what you are failing to compile.
What exactly did you change?
I never compiled my proposed effects code above. I proposed it simply as a first stab at it hoping someone else could move it forward and fully integrate it with WLED.
Hi!
When you get this error (FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\\Users\\pat\\Desktop\\WLED-master (1)\\WLED-master\\.pio\\build\\d1_mini\\.sconsign37.dblite'), try compiling again.
It will usually work
Ah, you’re right - compiling a 2nd time worked.
Here’s what I’m trying to do in the attached diff files.
Again, I’m new at this and just trying to help development any way I can.
Here’s the compiling error’s I’m getting.

There are two problems i was able to identify, though there might be more.
First, in FX.h, the mode_washing_machine(void) needs to have a comma at the end. of the line. Only the last line of the list must have the semicolon.
Second, the isItTimeToDip(bool dipTime) function should be above the uint16_t WS2812FX::mode_phoneytv(void) in the file.
Hope it helps
Thanks! I was able to fix those with your help, and I fixed a few other errors. Still stuck on these below.
The else without a previous if confuses me on the goal with that?
I still can’t attach files, so here’s the diff’s, and the compile errors below:

The third to last and last ifs in the WS2812FX::mode_phoneytv(void) have one too many closing brackets }
I’ve been chipping away at this a little bit - I can try to figure that out with some trial and error.
Any thoughts on this last error?

I don’t have an answer, but I do have major kudos to you and @Aircookie for debugging my untested PhoneyTV effect. It was originally the only effect in the source project I found on github.
I think segment code is different now that there are so many segments. I think I drafted it assuming there was only 1 segment (probably true at that time).
