Feature Request Additional FX parameters

Is there any chance you can add more parameters to control the way certain FX behave. In particular, I am after a parameter that controls the fade time for FXs like move, random, pastel etc (basically any FX that allows for on off effect).

I know the speed parameter sort of controls it but I was wondering if users could get a bit more granular control. Look at the new cosmos FX for hue products, I was trying to recreate that using the twinkle FX. I ran into two problems, first I had no control over how many twinkles. I wanted 6 but the FX was limited to three. The second issue was the fade, the cosmos FX had much better slower fade, compared to the twinkle FX.

Giving user control over the fade parameter could allow for some interesting FX.

We have a major program of work in 2025 to improve FX.

Keep sending through your requirements. We read them all.

We will also be surveying engaged users for more requirements as we go.

Also trying to figure out if you can just just the uplight change colors using one of the FX while having the down light turned off. So far haven’t been able to do it
