"Single action to brighten and then dim your light"
This has two modes, default and "round robin". In default mode each execution of the action brightens the selected device up to 100% and then each execution will then dim it down to 0%. Basically you bounce between the ON state and OFF state through steps of brightness. A great single control for control pages!

Introduction
Smart Dimmer is a simple plugin that allow you to use a single action to brighten and then dim a device.
I had a need to use a single button to dim AND brighten a device on my control pages. It is easy enough to say the button action would, say, "brighten by 25%" but once it hit 100% then I had to hit a different button to turn it off and if I wanted to go from 75% to 50% I had to turn off the device and then tap the button 2 times to get to 50%.
This has two modes, default and "round robin". In default mode each execution of the action brightens the selected device up to 100% and then each execution will then dim it down to 0%. Basically you bounce between the ON state and OFF state through steps of brightness.
In Round Robin mode you can choose to just always brighten, in which case you brighten to 100% and the next execution will turn off the device and the next will brighten again.
Configuration and Use
This is only a plugin so no devices are needed. Once installed you will use the plugin "Smart Dimmer" action instead of directly changing the brightness of your device. The action will prompt you for which dimmable device you want to control and the percentage you wish to brighten or dim it.
Examples of Use
- Example: Dim and brighten device from a control page
- Control Page: Create a button on the control page an instead of setting the action to dim an Indigo device as normal, instead use the EPS - Smart Dimmer and select the device you want to dim and click on the options button to specify the percentage and optionally use round robin. Now each tap of that button will result in brightening to 100% then dimming to 0 back and forth as much as you wish
