So I keep changing the esp8266 program in my kitchen, as I can’t seem to find a sketch that does all that the Bruh sketch did.
I’ve just put on mclighting and love it, apart from i can’t seem to get it to do transitions. So fade on/off
Does any one have any quick scripts of nodered flows to get them to transition up when turning on?
How did you interface McLighting to HA?
mqtt, I’ve seen an example nodered flow (is that the correct term) on the github page, but still didn’t see an transition option.
Just gonna leave this here…
Hi Cooljimy84,
would you be able to share your Node Red flows to show how to incorporate buttons etc in mclighting
Thanks
Yes I can, on my phone at the moment, but I will export them and do a quick write up about how I worked out the timings.

This is my first export, so hopefully i’ve removed my server bits.
So basiclly i use MQTT to fade up and down, which really calls a animation and sets the speed for a set amount. I know it takes 15 seconds for the sweep effect at speed y to light them all on, i counted.
Same for off.
