I’m using XBMCstate plugin and all is working well, I have it so that when the movies end the lights come on, but the fade to quick and its a bit hard on the eyes. is there a way to delay or maybe gradually fade on the light or vise/versa?
You could put delays in your scene and maybe increase the setting by 10% every 2 seconds or something.
There is example Luup code for using delays here.
I was thinking of using scene delays rather than Lua (to keep it simple for the OP).
