Hi,

Firstly, I bloody love WLED… it just keeps getting better and better 😃 thank you to all involved in its development.

I’m currently playing around with v0.13 “Toki” and really like the playlist functionality. I was wondering if there’s a way to control the global brightness of the presets running in the playlist? As you would expect, each time the playlist switches to a new preset, it changes to that state, which includes the brightness. Is there a way around this that I may have missed?

If it’s not possible to change the global brightness of the running playlist, I think this would be a neat feature.

Cheers,  
OM.

You can save presets WITHOUT brightness.  
And then you can create a preset that will just increase brightness either by HTTP API or JSON API.  
Lookup those in [WLED docs](https://kno.wled.ge).
