Dimming hue lights from x to y in z min

baboonen

Hi,

I want to turn on a light at 50% (warm white) and dim it within 5 min to 0% (off). I want this with a minimum of flow card. I can do it with 3 cards. 

Pls advise.

Regards Bobby

So, u want to turn it on----put it on warm white----dim it to 0 in 5 minutes and u want that in 1 flow with just 1 card??
What's the fun of using 1 or 2 cards instead of 3?

Well I don't understand some things:

1. Dimming to 0 doesn't work: I have to use an extra flow card which turns the light off. And yes, I use the brightness card with the extra time variable.
2. when turned off sometimes it works to set brightness to a certain level. If that doesn't work I need to turn the light on. Why is that?

Next to that I have 5 lights where I want to minimize the flow cards with this specific flow. How do I do that?

Must say in 2.2.9 it is still working.
