New to HomeAssistant. Eager to learn. Pardon if my HA vocabulary is not yet up to speed. Installed HA on Ubuntu machine yesterday hoping to explore a bit. HA immediately searched for, recognized, and found my WLED (audio-reactive) light device (0.14.4). HA proceeded to ‘highjack’ my WLED. Lights reverted to initial (solid orange) state. Now I can alter WLED effects from within HA, but my Audio Reactive feature is gone.  
I found some lines of code provided on the Home Assistant forum that might resolve this. The updated conformation.yaml file does produce a switch on the HA dashboard that should toggle between audio-reactive on/off, but the switch does not function. The switch appears to be ‘off’. When I try to switch it ‘on’, there is not apparent action.  
Admittedly, I’m just 24 hrs into this, and likely have a ways to go re: yaml files. Can anyone point me toward a solution, or suitable tutorial to try and get my audio-reactive back?
