Problem fading out lights

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Trying to fade out lights slowly. Using Aeotec Micro Smart Dimmer 2E.

2) What is the expected behavior?
Lights to dim away smoothly and nicely.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Lights going out at once, or in one scenario jumping up and down before going off.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]
Here are three alternative scenarios I tried to get the wanted result:

Hi,

I think you’ll struggle to do this via webcore. Due to the infrastructure, webcore running in the cloud & congestion on the hub, this will not run smoothly.

Can you set the dim rate on your controller? Then you just need to go to the required level & the controller will give a smooth dim. Depending on the device & DH you may be able to set this from webcore.

I agree with @Paul1964 but in your piston why are you using $args.$index in your loop? Are you passing arguments tot his piston? Regardless, you should just be using $index which is your loop variable.

I would love to see the log to see what happens when you try to “Set level to a negative number”… (which should happen 90% of the time, unless you always keep your levels a multiple of ten)
