## Transitions
|
||||||
|
Transitions from Home Assistant are supported (for dimmable devices) when transition is longer than 1 second. Plejd will do a bit of internal transitioning (default soft start is 0.1 seconds).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This implementation will transition each device independently, meaning that brightness change might be choppy if transitioning many devices at once or a changing brightness a lot in a limited time. Hassio-plejd's communication channel seems to handle a few updates per second, this is the combined value for all devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transition points will be skipped if the queue of messages to be sent is over a certain threshold, by default equal to the number of devices in the system. Total transition time is prioritized rather than smoothness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommendations
|
||||||
|
* Only transition a few devices at a time when possible
|
||||||
|
* Expect 5-10 brightness changes per second, meaning 5 devices => 1-2 updates per device per second
|
||||||
|
* ... meaning that SLOW transitions will work well (wake-up light, gradually fade over a minute, ...), but quick ones will only work well for few devices or small relative changes in brightness
|
||||||
|
* When experiencing choppy quick transitions, turn transitioning off and let the Plejd hardware do the work instead
