Problem or Use Case

Hi,
I'm using bambuddy with an A1 printer and the integrated light is nothing more than a candle.
Therefore i added an LED-stripe which is controlled by Homeassistant.
I'd really like bambuddy to be able to use this light entity in HA for phtotos, e.g. the after print picture in the archive.

I've already added the light as smart plug and can configure to turn it on when the print starts and off after the print finishes, but i do not want the light to be on during the whole print time, but only for pictures.

Proposed Solution

Add an automation option for smart plugs to turn it on before taking a picture and off afterwards.

Thanks for your quick look, but I do not think that the integration of binary sensors will allow me to use custom light instead of the integrated chamber light?
