MSR-1_BLE ESPHome install error - light.neopixelbus

[stumain]

Trying to use the BLE enabled edition of the firmware for an MSR-1 but receive an error for light.neopixelbus in core.yaml. Documentation on https://esphome.io/components/light/neopixelbus.html suggests this feature is not availble when using ESP-IDF.

Tried removing the use of the ESP-IDF and the firmware compile and install works. Will wait and see how stable the MSR-1 using this.

Could be documentation update to remove the use of ESP-IDF or removal of neopixel functions if ESP-IDF is still required for another reason?

BTW, Awesome little sensors!!

If you are using ESP-IDF add this to your config in the ESPHome Builder to get the light working. esp32_rmt_led_strip is a replacement for neopixelbus.

light:
    platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    id: rgb_light
    name: RGB Light
    pin: GPIO3
    num_leds: 1
    rgb_order: GRB
    chipset: ws2812

Hi, apologies for the delay. There was a bug in the bluetooth yaml file we have but it wasn't the one you listed. I just merged a fix, could you give it a shot again?

Also could you link to the documentation that showed switching to ESP-IDF? I couldn't find it.

Thanks
