I am trying to automate a slow fade of a dimmer (over a period of, say, 30 minutes).
I haven’t quite figured out if the “script component” is going to be sufficient for this or if I’m going to have to write a python component.
Any pointers to get me started?

If your platform supports it, the “transition” attribute could help.
It’s a z-wave dimmer, so unfortunately I don’t think it helps.

It’s a z-wave dimmer. I don’t think that supports “transition” settings.
I think I have something using a python component, moving discussion to development forum.
