Add pulse mode

Open r41d opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Pulse mode transitions forth and back between black and the current color. Looking for remarks before possibly adapting it for the other 2 sketches.

Can you clarify what exactly the pulse mode does? If it's just toggling between the already set color and black, I think you could achieve the same thing by using the existing flash effect and uncommenting this line. I'm all for adding more effects, I just want to make sure that they make sense.

the difference between this pulse and the flash effect seems to be that the flash only flashes a specified amount of times while this pulse would keep on flashing until stopped.

This could be implemented in the flash effect using 0 as flash length or by adding another option to start it indefinitely. I'm not sure if and how you could pass effect parameters in HA however.

Flash does 0-255-0-255-0 in a specified interval Pulse does 0-1-2-3-4-5-...-255-254-253-252-...-0

So do we also need a flash effect that pulses indefinitely?
