I created two helpers (which are basically what Home Assistant calls variables): a toggle helper and a time helper. Then I created an automation to run when the time is equal to the time that the helper is set to and it checks to make sure the toggle helper is on, then you can run whatever task you want (lights, music, etc) as part of the automation. Some smart lights have a built in "fade" time that you can use in Home Assistant, but my lights don't support that (FYI, the "Light" service call built into Home Assistant has this functionality but only if your lights support it. If your lights don't they'll just come on and you'll be confused as to why it isn't working.... I know from experience), so I am using a script I borrowed from Jeff at SlackerLabs to accomplish the fading. He talks about his lighting script in this video. He has it on his GitHub here. Scripts in Home Assistant are a little more complicated than regular automations, but definitely much more powerful.
