Accent colors at daytime

[Oekn5w]

I'd like to have an accent color on my lights, so you basically choose the color when the switch would generate a white light.

I'm already working on this and I'd like to know the other's opinion on this feature (Basically whether I should PR the changes).

If you're interested, my usability concept is like this:

• add another switch to enable / disable this
• color can be given via yaml or service call (new service: set_accent_color), yaml overrides last_state on startup
• yaml also configs the interpolation endpoints (based on the internal percentage)

Functionality:

• below the lower threshold the functionality isn't affected (nighttime color temperatures)
• above said threshold, the rgb values are interpolated between the "default" rgb and the given accent color

Opinions?

Hi, that's a nice idea. However, it may break the circadian rythm?

However, having accent (minimum) brightness would be awsome !
Use case: while dinning I wan't a 10050% brightness curve but then, during the evening, a 1001% curve.

I'm currently in the process of doing version 2. This will be added/fixed.

Keep this ticket open until you can verify that it's properly working in the upcoming version 2.

I've added this shortly after me opening the issue, I don't know if it's in my fork though. Let me see. I don't remember why I didn't PR it

[Oekn5w]

Ah I didn't fork it, I've directly added the feature in my repo that keeps all of my custom stuff, I'll make a branch

@RubenKelevra I dunno why I didn't PR this (possibly because I didn't implement, test all the UI setup part, because I'm not using it), but here you go, upstream changes merged just now: https://github.com/Oekn5w/adaptive-lighting/tree/accent_colors

Hey @Oekn5w I've merged it into a branch in this repo and I'll have a look at it.

v1 has a feature freeze due to the v2 development :)

Thanks for your contribution!
