If your light support dimming, you can set additional the duration of an action.  
Otherwise you can try the app Dimmy, but this has limitation in duration, a bit to quick in my personal opinion.  
Next step is building your own transitions, with the app Chronograph.

Thank you @sschot. I’ll give Dimmy a try. It worked occasionally in Home Assistant and now I’m trying Homey Pro.

The Transitions app is also useful for this.

Hi, I’ve written an app that might be able to help you with that. Once you’ve set up a mood for your lights, you can fade into that mood.
