Hello everyone, I wanted to share a solution I recently discovered for achieving smooth dimming with Hue lights using the Zigbee binding. After experimenting with different approaches, I found that the key was to use the .fadingLightCommand method instead of sending immediate brightness commands. Here’s how I implemented it:
- Trigger Detection: I set up a trigger to detect when a dimming action is initiated.
- Brightness Calculation: I calculate the current brightness level and determine the desired target brightness.
- Fading Command: Using
.fadingLightCommand, I send a command that smoothly transitions the brightness over a set period. - Stop Handling: When the dimming action stops, I calculate the elapsed time and adjust the brightness accordingly to ensure a seamless transition.
This method eliminated the abrupt changes I was experiencing and provided a much smoother user experience. I hope this helps others who were struggling with similar issues! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for improvement.
