Indigo Domotics

Hi, I'm looking to simulate the capability of Haiku fans, hue lights, etc and schedule a light to gradually ramp up from 0 to 100 brightness over 30 minutes each morning.

The device is an insteon dimmer, but I don't want the default setting to be a slow ramp, I only want it to ramp slowly for this "alarm"

I see there's a script to do this but I can't seem to get it working. Also seems like something v7 should be able to do natively. Any advice?

I do this device agnostically via a variable and a script that turns observed Luminance from a sensor into a value called Darkness.

Before I got luminance sensors, I had it running on a schedule triggered by sunrise/sunset, but you could schedule however you want.

The basics of it are:

Morning Schedule. Action: Raise Darkness variable by 1 every however often you like.

Trigger: change device brightness to value of Darkness when Darkness changes

However, it occurs to me I don't do this with the one Insteon light I have, so I'm not sure that Action (Increase by value) is available.

A take on Different's solution, and what he was pondering, is you could have a schedule that runs every minute for 30 minutes and disables itself, another schedule could then enable the 30 minute schedule daily. Here is a purely Indigo native UI solution (this would also be quite easy doing it via Python):

you folks are awesome. thanks so much for the native indigo solution. doing that now.

So, indigo makes it even easier than we thought. No trigger needed. For the 2nd schedule, you just need the auto-disable toggle:

Worked perfectly.
