Hi,
I’m new here. So new in fact this is my first post. Feel free to roast me with a “search noob”, but include a link to the post you found. LOL.
Anyway. I was able to get HA up and running on a NUC and add some various devices including a zigbee hub and a Jasco (GE) dimmer switch.
I want to have the light ramp to 100% brightness over 3 seconds when pressed and the same when turning off. Currently it just goes 100% when toggling the switch.
Doing some reading it looks like scenes seem a reasonable way to implement this. Again roast as needed until I succeed. I setup a scene and an automation that works except, the light still goes to 100% immediately when off, but when I dim the light to 10% and toggle the on switch it activates over 3 seconds as I set it up.
here is my scene.

What am I missing here? Logically I want the switch to not actually control the light at this point but act or like a toggle for a scene.
