Change default transition time for a light

Most of my zwave dimmable lights have a setting for transition time. For the Phillips hue lights this seems to default to a long 300 ms. For scenes I can override this with the transition setting. Is there also a way to change the default. In this case, turning it on and off from the gui respects this time.

I have the same problem. I would like to somehow force a default transition time value for my lights when no value is provided.

Have you found any solution?

Looking for this myself, but for the opposite reason. I quite like the “Soft” on and off look so looking for a way to set a default to 2 to 3 seconds.

Is there anything we can do?

There should be an option in the UI in recent Home Assistant releases. You can only set it in seconds though. So 0 seconds, 1 second, or more (but not 0.5 seconds for example).

There is. But unfortunately not to be set as a default. For me this is probably 0.5 s. This is possible with other integration of Philips Hue on other platforms, so it is not something “impossible”.
