Faster Transitions Than 1 Second – Possible in Hue Essentials?

Hello,

I’m using the Hue Essentials app to control my Philips Hue lights, and I’m trying to create light sequences with transitions faster than 1 second. However, it seems that the app doesn’t allow transitions below this limit, which makes certain effects difficult to achieve.

My goal is to quickly change colors with very short transitions (e.g., 500 ms or less) to create smooth and dynamic animations. Is this a limitation of the app, the Hue Bridge, or the bulbs themselves?

Is there any way to bypass this limitation within Hue Essentials? If anyone has a solution or workaround, I’d really appreciate your insights!

Thanks in advance for your help!
