Model: Kasa HS220  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Please add ability to preset default brightness at different times with this switch. For example I have the motion sensor dimmer switch ES20M. In the app, you can set a schedule: Between 6pm and 8am, turn on at 50% brightness. From 8am to 6pm turn on at 100% brightness.

 

I'm looking for this feature in the standard physical dimmer switch. I would like the "brightness" to follow a schedule, but not necessarily change the state. So when I turnpress the button in the evening, I want it to default to 50%. But when I push the button during the day, I want it to default to 100%. But if the button is off at sunset, I want the brightness to change while remaining off. Currently there are no workarounds even with Alexa routines... changing the brightness through Alexa also changes the state to on. I don't want my lights to turn on at 6pm, I just want the brightness set to 50% but to remain off until I physically turn it on.

 

Ths feature has been requested many many times as far back as 2019 (changing brightness without turning on switch)
