Alarm Clock and Lighting Controller.
The light controller has a Tb parameter. In Russian-language version of the loxon config they write that this is the time during which the brightness will increase. In the English-language: "Fading time in minutes when the alarm clock mood is triggered". It is not clear to increase the proper brightness or fade away. In any case, when a signal is applied to the Bu input, the brightness changes immediately. Is it possible to make the brightness increase smoothly? I have one dimmer connected to the output 0-100%

Hi Oleg
The lighting does indeed ‘fade’ up over the course of the time set in parameter ‘Tb’ when you trigger the Bu Input. The key consideration however is that this only works IF you have one of your lighting moods assigned to input Bu inside the lighting controller (double click on the controller). Otherwise as it doesn’t know which mood to use and it will just trigger the ‘Bright’ mood (input O). Also this functionality will only work with outputs set as ‘Smart Actuator’ e.g. Loxone lighting or circuits on the Loxone Dimmer Extension.

I have set it up as described with a Tb of 5 minutes and a smart actuator that is linked to a loxone dimmer extension (it's the 24V RGBW dimmer extension). When Bu becomes active I can see the correct lightning mood is triggered ('Alarm'). However, in live-view I can see that the value of the smart actuator is immediately set to 100% without respecting the Tb.
The lightning mood is set as an alarm mood. I cna see the alarm clock icon next to it in the Loxone app.
