@Snapdragon-Darling
Thanks so much for this!! I worked through your guide and have it working!
I have a few questions;
When creating the automation I can't figure out how to add IDLE. Can you walk me through it in more detail? I tried manual editing YAML code also but apparently I still have a lot to learn.
My F1 Sensor doesn't have the Safety Car entity you show. It doesn't seem to have mattered as I don't think you used it?
I see in your code you chose WLED_Playlist rather than WLED_Preset? I don't think you created a playlist in your WLED? I chose preset and it works fine for me.
You created preset CHEQ, but you don't end up using it?
Lastly, you can backup your presets and playlist in WLED using backup found under configure. Makes it easy to restore or share. It is a json file.

Thanks again! Can't wait to show off during tonight's watch party.

One thing I really want to figure out is to maybe dedicate my last segment to indicate the current P1 driver.

If you don't see Safety Car, there is a bug in the latest release 4.0, you need to download the Beta version. But yes, I've stopped using it - just need to see if it still works during the race. If not I'll need to swap out the Entity State to Safety Car
Ah, didn't spotted that I hadn't used CHEQ - will need to add this to my Conditions

You can use either a Preset (easier) or a Playlist - You need a Preset for a Playlist to attach too - so just use Preset. I was showing a simple approach.
Not sure I understand what you mean to "indicate the current P1 driver"...

Enjoy your party.. I have loads of LEDs configured in HA, asked the wife if I can set these up to match too... not a chance... lol

I will look, I don’t see in your code that safety car is being used? Can you explain what functionality it is providing beyond akready getting SC and VSC from track status?

For IDLE, this goes in to the Default Action at the bottom of the Then Do section:

For CHEQ, you need to use Session Status > Finished (I hope this is right)

we need to check that SC in the Track Status works - if it does then we can ignore Safety Car entity

P1, so who ever is currently leading race, think there in an entity for top three or something.

For IDLE, this goes in to the Default Action at the bottom of the Then Do section:

So add that as default action at bottom of each option? Or is it its own option. Sorry, I’m just learning. This is pretty fun.

It's on its own if you look in the image

Did you ever figure this out? This is exactly what I want to do as well, have the 1-part of the logo indicate either P1 or P1-3. There is a seperate entity for P1, P2 and P3 I saw in the F1 Sensor docs, but I can't figure out how to add that to the automation

I ended up dedicating my F1 logo box to just race leader and I added lights behind TV for race status. Here is my code that changes logo to match P1. I have a preset for every driver on WLED named with first three of last names.
