Hey everyone, I’m currently working on integrating some smart lighting into my home setup using Home Assistant. I came across this really cool tutorial on dimming lights when media is playing, and I wanted to adapt it for my LED stripe setup. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
I set up my LED stripe with a Wi-Fi controller and configured it in Home Assistant. The basic functionality works—lights turn on and off as expected. However, I noticed that the transition effect isn’t smooth at all. Instead of a gradual dimming, the lights just snap to the new brightness level. That’s a bit of a letdown, especially since I was really hoping for that seamless effect.
Here’s my current configuration for reference:
yaml
light:
- platform: flux_led
devices:
192.168.1.43:
name: LED-TV
mode: “w”
scene: - name: Livingroom normal
entities:
light.ledtv:
state: on
transition: 2
brightness: 255 - name: Livingroom dim
entities:
light.ledtv:
state: on
transition: 2
brightness: 50
I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing here. Maybe the transition syntax isn’t quite right, or perhaps there’s a different setting I need to adjust. I’d really appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community on how to get those transitions working smoothly. Thanks in advance for your help!
