Lua Smooth Dimming curve

[FabianM 0]

Hi

Is There a simple way to make a smooth Dimming curve over (for example) 60seconds?

I do it like this, but it is a lot of single commands. Is there a easier way??

Thanks for any Ideas...

Yes there is! You can use a "for" loop, have a play with this:

I think it's a "Dawn Simulator" that you need :-). This is my favorite.
You can dim up or down the light by changing the start and end values.

thanks @RH_Dreambox.  actually not exactly what i am looking for.

Well, i have a scene with mutliple Actions (example: Lamp 1 at 50%, Lamp 2 at 25%, LED Strip at Magenta with 50% Dimming, etc.). Now i want when i Start the Scene (Starting Home Cinema with Electric screen - needs time to come up) that part of the Actions (Dimming of a Lamp) will go over 1-2 Minutes.

I Think @RH_Dreambox  your Scene is great, but a Little Oversized for my needs.

 

Any other ideas?

Please, I would inform you where I should change the code if it is to reverse the order, that is, lamps turned on and gradually turn off until turning off (I would like to use it at the end of the night in the garden). thank's

Apologies I missed putting in the 'i' at the end of this line:

, noting that not all LUA functions are implemented in Home Centre (and i did not have access to test at this time)

 

Looks like you solved it using a similar approach, well done.

You must change startValue and endValue to dim the light up or down, see the example below.

Wake up (increase the light slowly)
-----------------------------------
local startValue = 0;    -- Begin value = 0
local endValue   = 100;    -- End value = 100

Sleep (reduce light slowly)
---------------------------
local startValue = 99;    -- Begin value = 99
local endValue   = 0;    -- End value = 0

If you do not want to turn the light on or off completely, you can select an optional start and end value

Wake up (increase the light slowly)
-----------------------------------
local startValue = 40;    -- Begin value
local endValue   = 80;    -- End value

or

Sleep (reduce light slowly)
---------------------------
local startValue = 70;    -- Begin value
local endValue   = 25;    -- End value
