LSC gu-10 not transitioning with automation

Configuration
1

Recently I got into home assistant and wanted to make an automation so that a lamp has a sunrise effect right before my alarm goes off. For this I’ve made an automation that slowly brightens the lamp.

Here are two small code snippet from the automation.yaml:

  variables:
    entities: light.par16_gl_slc_wifilic_ty_cct_970700, light.nanoleaf_light_panels_56_a3_db
    transition: 180

  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data:
      brightness: 200
      transition: '{{ transition }}'
      entity_id: '{{ entities }}'

For now I’ve added my Nanoleafs and a LSC gu-10 (LSC Smart Connect slimme ledlamp | Action.com) just for testing. When I set an alarm, the Nanoleafs perfectly transition from brightness 0 to 200 in the transition time. However, the gu-10 smart lamp instantly goes to 200 without transitioning.

The wierd thing is that I can still manually change the brightness of the gu-10 smart lamp if I add it to my dashboard.

My question is: Why does the Nanoleaf transition from 0 to 200 but the gu-10 lamp doesn’t, while they are both dimmable from the dashboard?

Brightness and transition time are two separate attributes of a light.

Does your gu-10 support transition time?

Not all dimmable light hardware supports transition time.

Aparantly the gu-10 doesn’t support transitions, had to manually make a loop to brighten the light over time.
