    Hello,

    I would like to use the dim-up action to really slowly dim up the light
    in the morning. When I woke up I would still like to interrupt this action,
    by either switching on the lights completely or by turning off the dim up action. Is there some way to interrupt this action.

    Right now the process seems be rather atomic,
    so I can switch on/off the lights, but the dim-up action continues to run
    and thus returns to its next dim value right after I manually switched on or off the lights.

    greetings
    Michael

      Can you show us the rule part of the linknx.xml config who do this action?

      greetings

      Hi,

      I created this di-um action to do exactly that (wake up with slowly increasing light). What I programmed, is that if the dimmer value object is externally decreased (by turning it off using the wall switch for example) the dim-up process is aborted.
      If it doesn't work for you,  perhaps it's because the dimmer value object is not updated when it's changed externally.

      Regards,

      Jean-François

      Hi Jean-François,

      do I understand this correct, that there needs to be a group address for the dimmer value ?

      What happens, if you externally increase the dimmer value,
      e.g. by turning the light on using a wall switch ?

      Regards,
      Michael
