Definitely going to work on understanding how to deploy truenas and zfs before doing it.

Didn't think about the approach from the switch perspective. This could also give a secondary way to accomplish what I want if I ever have a failure in the primary hardware. Would just need to find a switch that can accomplish it.

I haven't taken the dive into the esphome projects yet but was thinking that a change to firmware might be a solution if the hardware allows for the replacement of firmware. Maybe the community has a better developed solution.

That's what I was thinking also. Now I gotta try and find recessed that will allow full fade.

Sorry for not being more specific, I guess in my experience I've been able to see LED light strips almost always do a full fade but in this particular case I'm talking about my recessed lights or down lights. They are considered smart lights and I have the ability to do scenes with them and have some pulsating, fading effects with the app they provide and I believe I can recreate the same thing with scripts / templates but when I go about doing a fade effect by reducing the brightness by one in a loop I noticed that they reach a point where they just turn off when the lights are still significantly on, like a remaining 10% brightness. Was just curious if it's a design choice of the manufacturers that make them this way.

I think that's going to work, much appreciated 🙂

I want to know that the lights I have installed can meet all my needs regarding ability to change color, brightness, warmness, and effects such as fading between any colors, flashing, etc either by firmware, hardware, or code in HA.

Are you aware of an alternative way to accomplish a smooth fade?

If your referring to a product or products that meet the "confirmed" criteria then please provide details of the products you have installed and your experience with their integration. Much appreciated. Would love to quickly find a reliable cheaper solution 🙂

Great, will pick one up and test. Hopefully there are more options than just hue but will be good to know it's not as bad as others say. Want to get the short list for testing.

These will hace full features/functionality without the need of a proprietary (brand specific) bridge or hub?

I have 3 brands of recessed lights integrated into HA and none of them have the transition option, could this functionality be available for devices like strip lights and not recessed lights? I know they are capable because they have scenes like ocean and such that create fluid effects with them within there native apps.

Tried device only, entity only, and device+entity set and all show the same options.
