Some don't. Since you have to control all the lights at the same time, you have following options:\r\n\r\n1. Don't use generic :color and :dimmer effects in cue. Create new one (say :dimmer-color), where you specify both :color and :dimmer effects for all lights in the setup.\r\n2. Have ability to specify :dimmer for lights without dimmer channel. Apply transformation to colors, so user could dim lights without dimmer.\r\n\r\nWhat is your usual solution in these cases? I have seen you don't control all dimmers and colors at the same time. So you have to activate multiple cues to achieve a desired effect?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/brunchboy/afterglow/issues/comments/167361946","html_url":"https://github.com/brunchboy/afterglow/issues/43#issuecomment-167361946","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/brunchboy/afterglow/issues/43","id":167361946,"user":{"login":"brunchboy","id":2228869,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2228869?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy","html_url":"https://github.com/brunchboy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brunchboy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-26T20:46:02Z","updated_at":"2015-12-26T20:46:02Z","body":"All right, I have written up the virtual dimmer [documentation](https://github.com/brunchboy/afterglow/blob/master/doc/effects.adoc#virtual-dimmers). Please give them a try, and let me know how they work with your fixtures! Although it took me a while to figure out a good way to address this need, I am glad you brought it up, because I think we have a very good solution now. It always makes me happy when the underlying design turns out to be able to accommodate things I did not anticipate, and in a good way."}}
