Light Bulb Effects

I have been messing around with Zigbee2MQTT and Node Red for some of my zigbee bulbs and have found that they have a series of short effects that are built into Z2M. A single command can do 1 of 4 effects:

  • blink
  • breathe
  • okay
  • channel_change

I know this must be built into Z2M and not the bulbs directly as they offer the same 4 effects, plus a finish_effect and a stop_effect for all dimmable or color bulbs that I have (Hue and Ikea). I was wondering if there is anything similar for sending 1-3 second long effects when the bulbs are paired to my HE?

I suspect it is accomplished by Z2M by sending a series of commands, but am not enough of a programmer to go through their code and translated into similar HE code.
