From my reading, the brightnessLevel parameter is available as read only. What I want to achieve is this- at certain times of the day or night I want to preset the levels for a light to be, but I don't want to have the light come on when the setting is changed.
At midnight (or when I go to bed) I set the brightness on the 2 lights in the master bathroom to 5%. This works, but I'd like for it work a little different.
This change to 5% is simple, but depending on the current state of the lights in there it can be annoying. If the lights are already on they just dim and there's nothing very jarring about it. If they are off and the room is dark, then it is very noticeable for the lights to come on to 5% and then require being turned off.
The same thing applies at sunrise. By this point enough light is coming through the window that 5% is pointless, so I would normally set them to at least 40%. Now this is where putting the preset in place is the key. If I get up and walk in there at 8am and hit the switch, they are still set at 5% and it is pointless. But setting them higher in advance means there will be a "flare up" from the command to set the level, then toggle back off.
If there isn't currently a way to preset this now, it would be great if Matt and Jay could build it into future releases (if the actual hardware protocols allow it.)
I just want to be able to change the level a light will come on to without actually having to turn it on...like altering its memory of what the last value was.
Thanks
