Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Additional controls over FastLED such as:
- Change speed of effects
- Split out brightness, speed, color wheel and selected effect into separate entities as such so that within Home Assistant they can be set as separate entities when adding to dashboard.
- Greater ranger of standard effects with the preferred standard to include effects like "rainbow" and "sinelon" - a prime example would be Bruh Automations effects, check provided below link to Arduino stretch file.

Link: [https://github.com/bruhautomation/ESP-MQTT-JSON-Digital-LEDs/blob/master/ESP_MQTT_Digital_LEDs/ESP_MQTT_Digital_LEDs.ino](https://github.com/bruhautomation/ESP-MQTT-JSON-Digital-LEDs/blob/master/ESP_MQTT_Digital_LEDs/ESP_MQTT_Digital_LEDs.ino)

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
The use cases for this will allow for more control over the lights in general both with changing speed independent of the effect and will also allow for all controls to be easily seen without having to tap into Light entity.

Additionally including the effects in the example that Bruh Automation has would offer a much better experience for myself and others as currently using ESPHome for lighting doesn't seem all that worth it.

**Additional context**
No further context required.
