Nothing on this?

As a easy feature to add would be to make the OFF command send brightness to 0 wait for X ms depending on current brightness and then send OFF.
And ON command send ON then Brightness 255 if no other brightness was given.
Easy way to get a smooth on/off atleast.

This way when we turn it on to say 50 brightness it will go on and then from 1 brightness up to 50.
Not as it is now: On and then from the last brightness up/down to 50.

@bhaap, I'd be happy to look at this when I've decided to set aside focused time to work on this project. As of now, I'm preoccupied with other stuff. My work on these kinds of things comes in bursts :)

I'd also be more than happy to collaborate on a PR if you're interested in taking a stab.

Only a novice in programming but ofcourse i can give it a stab. Could you give me some pointers on where to look in the code for sending the on and the off command (guessing its a specific place depending on bulb?)

Is this still in progress? Sounds nice.. Smooth on and off.. Then my apartment will look like a mansion for outsiders :)

This is now possible with transitions (documented in README).
