Adafruit I2C Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout with NeoPixel / Seesaw Neopixel LED issue with 4 LED

[lboue]

Hello,

I am facing an issue with seesaw componant and my Adafruit I2C Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout with NeoPixel - STEMMA QT / Qwiic, Product ID: 5752. Encoders count in the wrong direction.

The LED on the first encoder works correctly, but the other 3 LEDs cannot be controlled.

I am using the seesaw branch of this repo.

  - platform: seesaw
    id: pixel0
    pin: 18
    name: "Seesaw neopixel"
    #num_leds: 4

The num_leds parameter is not working:

Failed config

  [num_leds] is an invalid option for [light.seesaw]. Please check the indentation.
  num_leds: 4

Can you help to make it work?

Yes, that's under development. I think I even mentioned to you that I'm figuring out how to implement that. Please don't make more issues here, you can contact me on discord. And you can't just make up undocumented parameters. :-)

How ca I set the color of these neopixels anyway? turn_on, set_rbg, set_color... everything throws errors in esphome in lamda

Any updates on this one?

It's an RGB light. You use the same methods that you normally use in esphome for a light. You have to use a "call" as shown in the light docs.
