I’ve been really enjoying the Philips Hue system in my home, especially the ability to create gradual lighting effects. However, I’m trying to take it to the next level by integrating this functionality into my openHAB setup using Python. I came across the Hue Rule Action ‘fadingLightCommand’ and I’m curious about how to utilize it effectively.
I’m currently using a Raspberry Pi 3 with openHAB version 2.5.9, and I want to leverage the JSR223 and Jython rules engine to incorporate the fadeTime parameter. From what I understand, this should allow for smoother transitions between light states. However, I’m not entirely sure how to structure the Python code to achieve this.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the Hue settings interface, which shows the parameters I’m trying to access. My goal is to create a rule that adjusts the fadeTime dynamically based on certain conditions, such as the time of day or user input. This would add a layer of customization that I believe would enhance the overall experience.
Has anyone successfully implemented something similar? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. I’m excited to see how this can be done and would love to share my findings with the community once I figure it out!
