Dimmer issues



  • I'm running a sketch based on the dimmer example on a pro-mini 5v. It works ok except that when switching on and off it ignores the set percentage and jumps to 100%. This also happens when using a blocky script. I wanted to have the light set at 25% after sunset but then when motion is detected from the motion sensor to set the light level to 100% for 1 min and then return to the previous light level. If i have the light off it returns to zero ok but would prefer it to run at 25% level after sunset.

    Anyone had any similar experiences?
