Flickering or dimming lights

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am a complete noob to web ore and it is a bit intimidating I must admit, I am not a code guy, just a guy with some common sense who can figure most things out… I want to find a way on my smartthings to get zwave dimmers to adjust light output automatically and constantly for Halloween. I have searched on these boards to no avail. I have 5 dimmers that control my front yard exterior lights with dimmable leds

2) What is the expected behavior?
I don’t care if they flicker or just dim up and down from like 5-20% I just want it on about 4 hours a year, nothing too tricky I would think

3) What is happening/not happening?
I don’t know where to start and would be happy to pay someone for their time to create such a thing

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
(PASTE YOUR LOGS HERE BETWEEN THE MARKS THEN HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE LOGS SND CLICK ON THE </> ICON TO FORMAT THEM)

There are some examples here for holiday lighting, what exactly are you looking for?

Just as I mentioned, simply looking for my normal yellow lights to constantly adjust brightness without me doing it manually for Halloween. Nothing too crazy :wink:

This is a simple piston that has one dimmer attached to it… I would like to be able to use more than one but that would require some testing lol.

You can easily duplicate this one for the rest of your dimmers. You can play with the levels and time to suit your liking. Also, I used a virtual switch that you can turn on and off that will trigger the piston to randomly change levels between random times. If you turn off the virtual switch, the lights should stay in the last level before the switch was turned off.

If you have not created a virtual switch before… check this link. Also, you have to add that virtual switch to webCoRE like any switch.
