Fade support #53

Closed mrx23dot closed 2 years ago

mrx23dot commented 2 years ago

Which devices support fade mode? Can it be implemented like fade_toBrightness(100)?

fishbigger commented 2 years ago

Hi, The P100 and P110 plugs definitely don't support it as they are purely binary. I assume the bulbs will support and as we don't officially support any other devices yet I think it will be safe to put the code in PyL530.py. I would prefer if it was implemented in Camel Case: fadeToBrightness(100) so it is in standard with the other functions. Were you going to implement this? Or is this just a feature request.

Just a Feature Request. What about L510 bulb? I didn't see anything in app.

If it's not an option in the app it's unlikely that there is a way to send a fade request to the bulb. You could write your own by sending a serious of setBrightness() requests that increment/decrement towards the desired brightness but I don't think this would be suitable to be added as a function in this library.
