CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

[smgran (Steve)]

Does anyone have a piston or thought about gradually dimming lights (over a period of several minutes)? The goal is to have, let’s say the bedroom lights over a period of 20-40 minutes gradually dim (sort of simulated sunset).

I’ve looked at this smartapp code by @bravenel but would like to accomplish this within CoRE as one piston instead of creating a separate app and then have a routine to launch it.

Dimming Slowly... every 5 minutes

Here is the code for an app that does this. Select the dimmers, and the number of minutes. Also select a Momentary Button to trigger the app. That button can be created in the IDE, and used in Hello Home phrases to launch the dim down. It dims once a minute until off, dimming by how much is needed to take the total amount of time. /** * Slow Dimmer * * Copyright 2015 Bruce Ravenel * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except * in compliance with the License.
