fade in insteon lights on a schedule?

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.

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