I am loving this plug-in and the Hue lights, but I have a question. I would like a slow transition when changing levels or turning lights off or on. I am using events to control the HS level device for the light or the group, I am not using JowiHue actions, because I am setting the level to a virtual device. I would like it to take 4 seconds to reach full brightness when the light is set to on from off.
It seems like the settings under configuration "Standard transition time that will set for dim, on and off actions" have no effect. I have tried from 5-100 and the lights seem to take about a second to transition from off to on no matter the setting. If I set the transition time in a JowiHue action it works as expected, however I cannot set the level to a virtual device using the plug-in action. I can set it from instant (.1 second) to 10 seconds successfully. We change lighting levels based upon time of day or night and outside light levels, requiring the level being set to that of a virtual device instead of hard coded into the event.
What am I missing?
