Hi all! Apologies for the simple (I hope) question. I have been searching around and can’t find a good answer.
I have an Inovelli Red Fan / Light switch that controls a fan with 2 Tuya Smart bulbs in the fan light fixture. I have the Inovelli switch set up such that the power to the smart lights is always on (local protection) and I have an automation that triggers when someone taps the light button on the switch.
What I am having a problem with though, is getting the 2 lights to come on simultaneously, and ramp on, not just instant on. What is happening is that the first light in the action section turns on/off first, followed by the 2nd light in the action section a few hundred ms later. They also just flash on and don’t ramp up or down.
How do I make the lights turn on simultaneously (or as close to that as possible), and ramp up/down?
My current configuration:

I have also tried activating scenes, which I think worked a bit better in terms of simultaneously activating the lights (still not great though), but I wasn’t able to make it ramp there either.
Edit – So I figured out that the lights that I am trying to fade, don’t support that feature. Now just to get them on at the same time.
