Since the new Advanced Zigbee bulb drivers in 2.2.5 support startLevelChange and stopLevelChange, would it possible to add these commands to group devices?

My use case would be to use a Pico to smoothly raise/lower the level in four grouped zigbee bulbs.

Thanks!

Sure but it may or may not work very well via groups.

Not even with zigbee group messaging?

We tried this and it doesn't work well at all. I can't speak to Zigbee Group Messaging. Also, Scene does not use Zigbee group messaging, only Group.

I think I read that this was how Hue worked for dimming groups of Hue bulbs. This is one of the reasons I recently replaced many of my Sylvania A19s with Hue. I know that zgm is much more reliable for me when controlling large groups of lights, and Hue seem to always dim in sync.
