Hi all,

One of my favourite functionalities is setting the dim level of hue lamps with a duration. For me it feels more chic when lamps change brightness during a few seconds instead of instantly. My living room lights dim based on lux levels, with the duration timer preventing a disco, which I currently have. I also use it to dim lights in unused rooms gradualy during a few minutes.

So of late I noticed the durations didnt seem to be used anymore.  
I’m running 6.3.10 of the app which has been live since May 6, but the problem feels more recent (but I might have noticed late). I’m using a Homey Pro 2023.

Is this a common issue or am I just unlucky? Would be a bummer to lose this functionality indefinitely.

Kind regards

Ps. Small edit. I thought the option wasnt available anymore when making new flow cards but it is still there.
