Looking for HACS Lightener alternative to map a slider to multiple bulbs in a non-linear way

This integration is a game changer in theory, it allows you to create virtual light devices from multiple bulbs, and define a mapping from the virtual light’s brightness to each individual bulb.

My usecase is a 16 bulb ceiling light in the bedroom. All bulbs on at lowest brightness is too bright for a cozy light, so I define a mapping to gradually turn the bulbs on one by one as I increase the brightness of the virtual device, and once all on, start increasing their brightness.

But there’s a bug in the integration, the lights dim on their own, and the mapping drifts off, requiring daily restarts to keep it in check.

Therefore I’m looking for an alternative way to achieve the above if anyone knows of a way?
