So I am having trouble with my hue lightstrip.
It does not seem to honor any setting in the second setlevel box. No matter what I put there it instantly jumps to whatever level I am trying to fade to.
This seems to be the case with all my hue lights
This is due to the fact that the driver for the hue integration currently does not support "transition time" adjustments. I have requested this feature be added in a future firmware.

hmm that is a bummer. Maybe this explains why my rule machine rule to fade over time kept setting my lights to 2% over and over.
Will support for this be coming any time in the near future?

I am curious if anyone has had any luck with smooth dim on their hue lights? Do other bulbs connected to the hue bridge support this properly? Seems odd their is no support for this in their own brand of bulb...
@mike.maxwell @bravenel is there anything is there anything can be done from the user end to help you look into this?
Has anyone in the community tried porting one of the other hue solutions over?

Just took a look at the Hue API...there is a transitiontime argument to Set Light State, so smooth dimming should be possible. The Hubitat driver would need to support it though.
There are also arguments of bri_inc, sat_inc, hue_inc, ct_inc and xy_inc for incrementing/decrementing the associated values.
Seems like the Hubitat driver should be able to support startLevelChange and stopLevelChange.

Yes! I poke around a bit after posting and saw the same thing. I am considering trying to port over an st solution but really don't want to have to remove my hue stuff from hubitat to do the testing.
Also I don't know of a mere port will work as I believe hubitat handles colors In the driver differently.
I am not sure if staff are currently interested in looking in to this for the official integration.
Edit: I have found a working solution for me.
Setup scene in hue app to do the fade I want.
Create an Alexa routine to activate this scene.
Use my Alexa telnet integration to trigger this routine.
Lol a bit of a pita but it is working and can finally have made lights fade up and down slowly again.
Does HE now support "transition time" adjustments?
