So I’ve got a lamp, a Hue E27 bulb LTW001 that I’m turning on and off as part of an automation. I don’t think it matters what triggers the on/off state.
I have not configured a transition either for turning on, not for turning off the lamp. Yet, the lamp manages to transition only when being turned off. When it turns on again, it does so instantly.
I dove into the configuration of the lamp device, and found some promising attributes that have to do with transitions, presumably done by the lamp independently from any controller, but they are all set to “None”, as far as I could find. So that might not be the culprit.
One thing to note, I don’t currently care whether it does a fancy transition or not. I just want it to do so consistently. So if I set a transition in an automation, it should do so, and if I disable transition in the same automation, it should not transition. How do I go about setting this right?
One last gripe that I have with this, is that transitions that can be set in an automation, have a resolution of 1 second. It doesn’t accept 0.5 seconds. I understand that this might have been done for those people who transition a lamp (or whatever else) over the course of hours. But surely, millisecond-resolution doesn’t prevent people from keying very long transition times, but second-resolution does prevent people from keying very short transitions. Can this be fixed please?
