Light.on services does not transition light to 'on' state

Configuration Z-Wave

Hi (again)

Calling the ‘light.on’ services with the following service data:

{
"entity_id": "light.dimmer_keuken_level_2",
"brightness": 255,
"transition":30
}

Does not transition the lights to the ‘on’ state. They simply turn on directly.
I use a Fibaro dimmer 2, anyone also having the same problem? or someone knows the solution?

Calling the service with the same data for a Hue light bulb works as esspected and transition works.

Try to put the level of brightness and the level of transition between " ", like “brightness”:“255”,“transition”:“30”

Thanks for quick reply!

Sending the values for brightness an transition as strings gave the same results, the light simply turns on.

Well found out via the help on gitter that it is not possible…
Transition is only of use for smart lightning like Philips Hue or others…

Has anyone gotten AppDaemon or any other method to transition non-Hue lights on and off?

Edit!

Transitions are working with my Zigbee GE Link lights! Tested in Developer Tools…

domain homeassistant
service turn_on

{
  "brightness": "255",
  "transition": "10",
  "entity_id": "light.ge_appliances_zll_light_00043232_1"
}

The transition down is a good bit more “even” than the transition up, but I’ll take it!

I know this is old but… were you able to transition the GE Link Lights because they were connected via the Hue Hub?

No, I don’t have a hue hub–just the lights.
