scheduling a light to increase its brightness over a period of time

[Anonymous user]

Heya Everyone,

I'm using a PDL354PBDMBTZ Dimmer hooked up to some downlights in a bedroom. Our customer has requested that we set up a profile where the lights come on slowly in the morning. starting at the dimmest they can be and then slowly ramping up to 100% over time. as far as I can see within the app I can only do this by setting the lights to a certain percentage and then upping that every few minutes. setting this up is quite time intensive and the end result is less than elegant, I was wondering if there was an easier method of doing this within the app

Hello, 

Thank you for your input. 

This fucntion is currently in our development cycle and we are hoping to release it soon.
However, I can suggest you an alternative for the moment by creating an automation with a tirgger (Sunset, Sunrise or Start time) and seting up these conditions:
1. Set light at 80% 
2. Delay 
3. Set light at 50% 
4. Delay 
etc... 

Thanks

Wow, the answer to the post is almost 2 years ago, that's a long development cycle!

Any update on the progress?
