Hello,
Hope this is the right sport for this.
I have a few Govee lights in my Daughters room. I’m trying to get the bulbs to dim up slowly and down slowly when turned on. I have been trying to use Node-red for this. Here is what I have now.
{“transition”:“3”,“rgb_color”:[0,0,255],“brightness_pct”:“100”}
I want them to dim up when the motion sensor detects motion.
I took a different appraoch:
Note that it does use the depreciated loop timer, but I put it back…

How long is slowly? 30 seconds? a minute? 5? How bright will the lights be at the start of the transition?
Thanks for the reply
30-sec lights will start at 0%
Lights all react differently so you may need to adjust the delay and the brightness_step_pct.

Hmm…isn’t this just turn on, but not turning off?
I thought he wanted slowly increase when turning on and then slowly decrease when turning it off.
it would be the same flow, just add a minus sign - to the brightness step.
Actually @aceindy you’re correct it’s unique enough that it should be posted
