Describe the enhancement

we should be able to control all existing segments' color, temperature, and effects from one entity.

grouping them in HA side (e.g. creating a light group that contains all the segments) is laggy, and the transition is not smooth, since its sending multiple requests to wled.

The behavior should be similar to wled's web UI, wherein you can use the checkboxes to select which changes will apply to which segments, and the changes apply to all segments at the same time.

Use cases

• better transitions
• easier effect selection
• easier color selection
• easier temperature selection

Anything else?

I like this idea, and I agree it would be a useful improvement. I’m open to looking into it, but the integration maintainer is currently occupied with other tasks, so development is a bit limited at the moment. I’m adding this to my To-Do list, and once the codebase is unblocked, I’ll be able to take a closer look at what can be done.

but I think this doesn't block us because we can experiment with it as an additional service.
