Aqara Advanced Lighting v1.3.0

[absent42]

Upgrade Instructions

Upgrading from v1.2.0:

1. Update via HACS to v1.3.0
2. Restart Home Assistant
3. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R), clear HA app cache

Your existing configuration, presets, and favorites are automatically preserved. Audio-reactive presets using the old boolean silence and brightness parameters are migrated automatically.

If you are using the audio-reactive features, please update your device firmware to v0.4.2 via web installer.

What's New

Version 1.3.0 introduces an updated dashboard card, preset favorites custom sorting, drag and drop color swatches in effect and segments editors, and audio-reactive effects for Aqara devices, allowing T1M and T1 Strip lights to run their native device effects speed modulated live by music.

It also unifies the audio parameter model across scenes and effects for a consistent editing experience, and introduces a central engine registry that eliminates orphaned audio engines. Integration-side support for the ESPHome Audio Reactive v0.4.2 pro DSP tier adds per-musical-band sensors, and a beat-event binary sensor.

Dashboard Card v2

The Aqara Preset Favorites card has been redesigned with new layout options and per-card customization.

• Pick which favorites appear on each card — the card editor now has a curation list with checkboxes and drag handles, so each card can show a different subset of your favorites in any order you choose. Leave it untouched on existing cards to keep showing all favorites in their global order.
• Five layout choices — grid (default), compact grid, list, hero (one large preset with the rest in a strip), and carousel (horizontal scroll). Existing cards using the old "compact" toggle automatically migrate to the new compact-grid layout.
• Optional brightness slider — turn on a per-card slider above or below the preset display. Tap a preset and the slider's value applies to effects, segment patterns, segment sequences, and dynamic scenes. (CCT sequences keep their own per-step brightness.)
• Drag to reorder favorites in the panel — favorites now default to a new "Custom" sort order. Hover any favorite tile in custom mode to reveal a drag handle, drop it where you want, and the order persists across browsers and reloads. Switching to "A-Z" or any other sort temporarily reorders the display without losing your custom order.
• Faster live updates — the card now updates active-preset highlighting in real time when presets start or stop from anywhere (panel, automation, voice, another browser).

Migration note: if you previously had your favorites sort set to "Date added (oldest first)", it will switch to "Custom" automatically on next page load. The order stays the same; the rename simply unlocks the drag handles.

Audio-Reactive Effects

T1M and T1 Strip lights can now run their built-in color effects (rainbow, flow, breathing, and more) with speed driven live by an ESPHome audio sensor.

• Speed modulation channel — amplitude maps to effect speed (volume mode)
• Configurable min/max ranges for modulation
• Silence behavior: hold last state or decay toward minimum/mid point
• Deadband filtering and rate limiting prevent flicker during quiet passages
• Waveform badge on preset icons when audio-reactive is enabled
• Live sensitivity slider in running-operation cards
• Effect audio reactive override panel with per-entity sensor and sensitivity controls
• 8 new audio-reactive effects presets for T1M/T1 Strip

Better beat tracking for v1.2.x audio scenes

The BTrack beat tracker has been rewritten in the firmware (esphome-audio-reactive v0.4.2). Existing audio scenes you set up in v1.2.0 using beat_predictive color advance now lock onto a wider range of music tempos than they did under v1.2.0. No config changes required — flash the new firmware and existing scenes track better.

Audio Engine Reliability

• Central AudioEngineRegistry tracks all active engines and resolves conflicts before starting new ones, eliminating the orphaned-engine bug where two effects on different lights sharing the same sensor would silently strand the first engine
• AudioEngine shared class now powers both scenes and effects, replacing ~430 lines of inline subscription/queue/silence code in the scene manager
• Sensor unavailability warning in running-operation cards when the audio entity goes offline

Pro-tier DSP Integration (ESPHome Audio Reactive v0.4.2)

• Auto-discovery of pro-tier companion sensors on any ESPHome audio device: sub_bass_energy, low_mid_energy, upper_mid_energy, air_energy, beat_event binary sensor, calibration_stale binary sensor, and the optional fft_task_cycle_mean_us / fft_task_cycle_peak_us diagnostic sensors. Basic-tier devices continue to work unchanged. The pro-tier sensors are exposed in HA for use in custom automations.
• Calibration-stale warning logged once per device when a pro-tier audio device transitions its calibration_stale binary sensor to on, prompting the user to re-run quiet-room and music-level calibration after upgrading from v0.3.x firmware.

Deferred to a future release

The following pro-tier features were planned for v1.3.0 but are temporarily hidden from the selectors while their upstream firmware DSP is stabilised. Existing scenes/effects with these values continue to load and run; you just can't pick them in new scenes/effects until a follow-up release.

• Effect speed modes — tempo (BPM-driven) and combined (BPM + amplitude). The volume mode is the production speed-modulation channel for v1.3.0.
• Color-advance modes — bass_kick (low-bass-band pulse) and freq_to_hue (spectral-centroid hue). The five other color-advance modes — on_onset, continuous, beat_predictive, intensity_breathing, onset_flash — are unaffected.

Improvements

• Stale devices automatically removed from the HA device registry when Z2M drops them from its device list or ZHA no longer reports them at startup
• Repair issues raised in Settings → System → Repairs when the configured backend is unreachable (Z2M: bridge not responding after 2 minutes; ZHA: integration not installed); auto-clear when resolved
• Auto-populate audio sensor in both scene editor and effect editor when the default sensor preference is set
• Activation overrides panel reordered: all toggles at top, parameters below
• Panel section descriptions updated throughout
• EMA filter extracted to shared EMAFilter class; alpha and decay constants centralised in const.py
• Implement spectral features, beat-phase prediction
• Implement decay_min/decay_mid silence behaviors for audio scenes
• Drag-and-drop reordering for effect editor color swatches
• Drag-and-drop reordering for segment-selector gradient/blocks swatches
• Default audio sensor selector moved to Device Config tab for easier discovery
• audio_silence_behavior enum replaces the old boolean toggle: hold, slow_cycle, decay_min, decay_mid
• audio_brightness_curve (linear/logarithmic/exponential) with configurable min/max replaces the boolean brightness-response toggle
• Brightness override in the Activate tab now applies to segment sequences (built-in and user presets); dispatched once per entity at sequence start via light.turn_on so both T1M and T1 Strip honor it
• Drag and drop sorting for favorite presets in frontend panel

Fixes

• Preserve original light state when switching between dynamic scene presets — preset B no longer restores to preset A's captured state baseline
• On-device audio modes (T1 Strip music sync, generic on-device) now correctly cleaned up when a scene is detached, not left running
• Stop orphaned audio engine and modulator when a new effect replaces a running audio-reactive effect
• Audio modulator brightness writes now tagged with integration context, eliminating false pause-detection log spam
• Apply audio waveform badge to scene presets with custom icons
• Prevent false external change detection during scene transitions
• Add missing audio fields to dynamic scene preset store whitelist
• Dynamic scene preview audio
• Add ESPHome name-derived unique_id aliases for companion sensor discovery
• Migrate ha-textfield to ha-input for HA 2026.5+ compatibility
• Dashboard Card now propagates user audio-override preferences to activation
• Effect favorite icons (built-in and user) now show the audio-reactive waveform badge correctly
• User dynamic scenes with both an uploaded image thumbnail and a leftover MDI icon now show the thumbnail
• Dynamic scenes activated from the dashboard card now highlight as active and are stoppable from the card

Code Quality

• Removed legacy preset-storage migration code introduced around 2026-02 (past the 3-month retention window): RGB-to-XY color format migration, loop_mode: "loop" → "count" rename migration, their flag constants, and the associated call sites in PresetStore.async_load(). Also removed the orphaned XYColor.from_rgb() classmethod.

Hey @absent42, thanks for maintaining this! Having recently purchased and installed 2x T1M, I'm happy to see this enabled full usage and does not require me to use the Aqara M3 I have, which is my preferred setup (1x RF network is better than two!).

After reading the documentation that clarifies increased ZB traffic is expected, is there is a way to interrupt the continuous traffic experienced after all the effects have been switched off, and including when the lights are off? Adding the logs of what can be seen in Zigbee2MQTT activity logs.

That's just the T1M continually reporting its state. It's normal device activing, it can't be turned off.

Is this after running an effect or a segment sequence?

edit: from those, it looks like changes in linkquality might be trigging the reporting, that seems to be the only thing changing in those logs.

[cmatte]

Great finding, I did not spot that's "just" a +-5lqi change, seeing it reported every few seconds is a first, no other device of 30 others do that with that frequency and none of them include non-changed parameters.

To your question, this was not happening before having run an effect/sequence from the add-on. Specifically that was confirmed by using the add-on initially only on the Kitchen light, and seeing that behaviour started, and the next day installing the Living Light, two days back, without ever observing this behaviour (despite using Zigbee2MQTT effects). Today I tried AAL with the Living Light and the over-reporting started there, too. This keeps happening even hours/days after the effects have been stopped and not used. That seems unique, right?

Happy to troubleshoot further, if it helps.

[absent42]

If the payloads are coming from the device, that's down to the firmware of the device. If the payloads are going to the device, that could be an integration issue.

For me, it's all about layering—a warm lamp at eye level, a dimmable sconce for reading, and a tiny LED strip behind a shelf to add depth without glare. Your wall light swap sounds like a game changer.
