There is one option in tasmota where you can set the time for the event around a "window" time frame.

I use this, in my mind the logic gives less automated "appearance" and looks more like someone is walking around turning on the lights rather than all at once.

Not sure if my thinking out-loud here is easy to understand but I will give it a try ;)

I have a group of lights to turn on at 7pm, say a group of 5.

Would like each of the 5 turn on at different times based on the "window" time-frame value that would apply at 7pm.

I suppose this might be leaving the realm of "simple" tho.

What you ask is very tricky to achieve, because of how the addon works. What you can do is create a script that does that, and then call the script from the addon.
