[Solved] Led-Light Plugin with hyperion - possibility to set dim/brightness level from 0 to 100 in a given time period?

---

Hello!
I have the led-light plugin with hyperion installed and it is actually working quite good. Now I want to use the leds as “morning light” by dimming them from 0% to 100% in a given time, e.g. 5 minutes. I have found this thread where this seems possible in general.

So I tried to set if it is $alarm and every 10 seconds then dim bedled to $bedled.brightness +1 (because $rfswitch.dimlevel was not suggested while creating the rule I used $bedled.brightness). This did not work. The frontend says smthng. about a number which was suspected.

As a work around I am using this at the moment

… dim bedled to 0% and after 1 second set bedled to peach puff and after 2 seconds turn on bedled and dim bedled to 5% and after 5 seconds dim bedled to 10% and after 10 seconds dim bedled to 15% and after 15 seconds dim bedled to 20% and after 20 seconds dim bedled to 25% and after 25 seconds dim bedled to 30% and after 30 seconds dim bedled to 35% and after 35 seconds dim bedled to 40% and after 40 seconds dim bedled to 45% and after 45 seconds dim bedled to 50% and after 50 seconds dim bedled to 55% and after 55 seconds dim bedled to 60% and after 60 seconds dim bedled to 100% and move Rolladen up for 30 seconds

which is not so convenient like the method described above.

Is anyone able to help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

@triagony i would say we need an addition to the rule for dim lights like

if it is $alarm then dim bedled to 100% over 600 seconds

this would last for 10 minutes and every 6 seconds (600/100 = 6 seconds/percentage) it would lighten up by 1 percent.

Or maybe i will create a new device type: WakeupLight which is basically a dim light but with a configured time period, when switched on.

@triagony Hi, You have to create a variable. For example: $bedled-var. Set value to 0.

if it is $alarm and $bedled-var is less than 100 and every 10 seconds then dim bedled to $bedled-var +1

Thank you! I will try this and report back, once I am home again.

@wutu Hi, I have testet your suggestion but it does not work as expected.

My rule is: if it is 15:07 and $bedled_var is less than 100 and every 10 seconds then dim bedled to $bedled_var + 1 while I have set $bedled_var to 0 before manually. The rule is executed but only once (to 1%). It seems that pimatic ignores the “every 10 seconds”-part.

I have also tried [...] set $bedled_var to ($bedled_var + 1) and dim bedled to ($bedled_var + 1) with the same result.

However, it works, when I use if it is after 15:07 and $bedled_var is less than 100 and every 10 seconds then set $bedled_var to $bedled_var + 1 and dim bedled to ($bedled_var + 1). So thanks for your input

I only have to find a way to reset $bedled_var to 0 before my rule starts. Any ideas?

@triagony Sry, I wrote it from work.

You use Pimatic 8?

Clear variable at midnight for example:
when(if) it is 0:00 then set $date-var to 0

@wutu No, I use pimatic 9 (at least I think so - I have installed it about 2 weeks ago. Don´t know how / where to check the exact version).

Thanks for your reply. I will reset $bedled_var at a specific time.

With my rule and the use of when it is **after** $alarm I have to set another condition (when it is after $alarm and before **someothertime**) otherwise the rule will execute at any time as soon as $bedled_var is set back to 0, I think.
