Overlay own effects for 5min for progess bars w.g

Hi freaks,

anybody with suggestions how to realize this:
I have a vertical strip with 60 LEDs. The “drip” effect is perfect, but i want to use it as a timer - the bottom leds should fill until the bar is complete filled. I want to use it as a timer.

I think i need some external programs - but i found nothing with those dripping effects. Above that, the time should be adjustable. Anybody with some good ideas how to realize this ?

The dripping animation should interrupt the WLED effect and after completion it should continue. Therefor i think, an external script in python e.g. should be best.

many thanks,
Tom

Hello,

this is a old thread i know, but this is exactly what i am searching for.
I would like to use this bar as battery state. Like 100 LED for 100% charges, and % percent more is a dripping led… that would be awesome.

But i have no clue how to realize it, i think the dripping effect “just” needs to fill the bar.

Maybe someone does have an idea, as this thread is now older but there might be some new stuff i do not see.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thomas

yes, and still on my wish list, too. :upside_down_face:

If you will use external control apps or HA then you can simply use individual led control with the api
to light the number of leds you need to correspond to the %

Woha, thanks.
I need to dig into this, right now i do not know how to use it but from what i understand this should be possible for what i want.

Thanks

That is fairly easy to do , an example to light pixel 0 , 1 and 2 is :
{“seg”:{“i”:[0,“A000EE”,1,“FF0000”,2,“0000FF”]}} , you can also check the link to use a rang of pixels

We have also did few scripts to replace the X variable with the pixels we need to light ( this is simple dos batch file command format to be use in a loop for a timer progress )

{“seg”:{“i”:[%%X,[0000FF]]}

If you start testing then it will all be clear,
[edit ;Just missed the new post about the battery , might be look to modify the new battery usermod ]
