You will need to rest the heatIndex back to zero. Even if you reset the register for heatIndex sill has the value of 255.

Before setup add heatIndex = 0;

And to rest at the end, in void sunrise()
EVERY_N_SECONDS(interval) {
// stop incrementing at 255, we don't want to overflow back to 0
if (heatIndex < 255) {
heatIndex++;
}
if (heatIndex == 255) {
heatIndex = 0;
}

how do you turn the leds on?

You turn them on with FastLED.show();

Hi

I'm looking to set up a sunrise effect in FastLED via ESPHome.
Can I (and how would I) use this script somehow within ESPHome?

Kr

PS: can ColorFromPaletteExtended() (FastLED/FastLED#202) be integrated in this?

COuld be a dumb question but how do i speed this up? i have changed sunrise length but i just see white

Setting the duration too low will cause interval to be 0 hence why immediately white. I suggest to just temporarily hardcode the interval to 1 if you want to speed it up. The full runtime will be about 4 min 16 secs
