# Fado Light Fader

> Fado Light Fader is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 50 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 5, 2026.

From the [repository description](https://github.com/clintongormley/ha-fado):

> Fado light fader custom integration for Home Assistant

[Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/marketplace_repository/?owner=clintongormley&repository=ha-fado&category=integration)

On Home Assistant 2026.10 or older? [Open it in HACS](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=clintongormley&repository=ha-fado&category=integration)

## Supports

- **Works locally**: Talks to your devices on your own network. No vendor cloud in between.
- **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS.
- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

### After setup

- **Show sidebar panel**: Show the Fado UI as a sidebar panel visible to all users. Disable this if you prefer to use a Lovelace dashboard with the custom:fado-card instead.
- **Notify about unconfigured lights**: Create a repair under Settings → System → Repairs when lights are detected without Fado configuration.
- **Dashboard URL**: URL path for your custom Fado dashboard (e.g. /lovelace-fado/0). Used as the repair's link when the sidebar panel is disabled. Leave blank to omit the link.

## Actions

- **Fade lights**: Fades lights to a desired brightness and/or color over a specified transition period.
  Fields: Brightness, Transition time, Color temperature, HS color, Color, RGBW color, RGBWW color, XY color, Starting values, Easing curve
- **Exclude lights**: Excludes lights from Fado. Excluded lights are ignored by fade operations and state tracking.
- **Include lights**: Re-includes previously excluded lights so they respond to fade operations again.

## Troubleshooting

- **Diagnostics**: Downloads a diagnostics file to attach to a bug report.
- **Repair notices**: Notices it can show in Settings, Repairs:
  Lights need configuration

## From the README

> A Home Assistant custom integration, available from the Home Assistant Marketplace and from HACS, that provides smooth light fading for brightness, colors, and color temperatures, with automatic brightness restoration, autoconfiguration via the UI, and support for native transitions.
>
> start a bedtime fade, interrupt it at the wall switch, and watch Fado restore the brightness you chose.
