Hello! Using the Kasa App (on Android), I tried creating a "smart action", increasing the bulb's brightness. I could only find, houwever, two selections: raise or lower brigness by +/- 5%. It's a checkbox. And there's no other way for me to control the exact percentage increase or decreases. Obviously I'd like more control. Say, going from 50% to 75% of brighness. Any ideas? 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey @Salter10,

There should be another option available called 'Set Lighting'. This will allow you to set the light to do whatever state you would like.Instead of thinking in terms of % increases, try configuring the device as shifting between two states - whether they are different colors, brightness, presets etc.
