Playing with ESP32-C6 and ESPHome

RGB_LED.yaml

light:
  - platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    name: Status LED
    pin: GPIO8
    rgb_order: RGB
    num_leds: 1
    rmt_channel: 0
    chipset: ws2812
    entity_category: config

@trianglesis The error message is unclear but it seems to be saying that "rmt_channel: 0" is not supported. Removing that fixes it for me.

That is interesting.
Does that give you control over the board's LED?

• power on\off
• color change

@trianglesis Yep! All works fine. Not the same board as yours, this is a knockoff of the Waveshare ESP-C6-Zero board but I'd be surprised if it was different.

I played with another similar device this weekend: https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-c6-lcd-1.47.htm

Like @midnightveil, I also had that rmt_channel error about IDF v5. LED works great with that line removed 👍

It worked just fine!

But colours are inverted:

light:
  - platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    name: Status LED
    pin: GPIO8
    rgb_order: GRB
    num_leds: 1
    chipset: ws2812
    web_server: 
      sorting_group_id: sorting_group_controls

Change the rgb_order to the correct order. Probably look at your data sheet for this.
