Lamp synchronization after continued excessive user interaction

A method, comprising:

• receiving an indication of a rotation of a rotation portion;
• periodically transmitting command messages at a transmission frequency while the rotation portion is being rotated, each of the command messages comprising a respective command for adjusting to a respective lighting level and a fade period, wherein the transmission frequency is dependent on a transmission interval, wherein the transmission interval is a period of time between the periodic transmissions of the command messages, wherein the fade period indicates an amount of time over which to transition to the respective lighting level, and wherein the fade period is longer than the transmission interval;
• and
• in response to a continued user interaction of the user interface, decreasing the transmission frequency of the periodic transmission of the command messages;
• detecting when the continued user interaction of the user interface has stopped;
• determining, based on a final position of the rotation portion, a final lighting level;
• and
• transmitting a final command message in response to the detection that the continued user interaction of the user interface has stopped, wherein the final command message includes a command for adjusting to the final lighting level.

A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, are configured to cause a control circuit to:

• receive an indication of a rotation of a rotation portion;
• periodically transmit command messages at a transmission frequency while the rotation portion is being rotated, each of the command messages comprising a respective command for adjusting to a respective lighting level and a fade period, wherein the transmission frequency is dependent on a transmission interval, wherein the transmission interval is a period of time between the periodic transmission of the command messages, wherein the fade period indicates an amount of time over which to transition to the respective lighting level, and wherein the fade period is longer than the transmission interval;
• and
• in response to a continued user interaction of the user interface, decrease the transmission frequency of the periodic transmission of the command messages;
• detect when the continued user interaction of the user interface has stopped;
• determine, based on a final position of the rotation portion, a final lighting level;
• and
• transmit a final command message in response to the detection that the continued user interaction of the user interface has stopped, wherein the final command message includes a command for adjusting to the final lighting level.
