Hello everyone,
I’m fairly new to OpenHAB (previously was experimenting with Home Assistant, although a few things didn’t quite work how I wanted there, so I thought I’d give OpenHAB a go.)
I have invested into the TP-Link Ecosystem and have swapped all the light switches in my house with HS200, HS210 and HS220 switches, and love the capability the Kasa app gives, where you can schedule the HS220 lights to fade on/off at certain times, specifically by sunset/sunrise.
I would love to be able to move that automation to OpenHAB instead of the Kasa app for the slow dimming functionality. I already have the Astro Binding installed to take care of the Civil Dawn/Civil Dusk times.
Has the slow fade on/off been incorporated in the tp-link binding, and if so, could someone point me in the right direction for the command to do a 10-20 minute fade-on via a rule?
Much appreciated!
–Edit–
I stumbled across the universaldimmer function, and implemented it successfully, which makes me incredibly happy, as I was unable to get any kind of automations working in Hass.io in regards to slowly fading a light over a set period of time, but this works a treat.
Progressive Dimmer Rules
My only issue is it doesn’t appear to work with my Magic Home Single-Color LED Controller, although it seems I can’t get the dimming function to work even manually with that through openHAB.
Will continue to tinker with it and see what I’m able to figure out.
