Allow segment sync with a command on Main from home assistant #5091
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WLED is a powerful thing. The segmentation option is super nice, so is the integration with the home assistant. I have recently added second strip to the existing one in the hopes to improve the lux power. Thus the physical connection is the strip twice the length, going one way and back.
From WLED standpoint, I have now 2 segments. The home assistant exposure has:
- Main entity for brightness and on/off only, but no color/effect
- WLED entity with brightness, on/off and color/effect, which represents the segment 0
- Segment 1 entity with brightness, on/off and color/effect, which represents the segment 1
Describe the solution you'd like
The possibility to have the "sync all" or "apply to all segments" command, so that we could have in home assistant Main entity that would apply to all segments, especially when you want to set a solid color or sync the state.
Whenever someone would set the segment or color on the main entity, it should override all the other segments.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Today the solution to control from home assistant is to either:
- Create light group in the home assistant or
- Each time the entity is controlled, duplicate number of entities
I am not yet sure how will the group behave for effects.
