RGB NeoPixel ESP8266 Help!(

There is Homeridge sketch. I want to add to it the "smoothness of switching" colors. Now, when the color / percent of the glow changes, it all somehow jerks (not smooth).
It seems like it can be implemented via FadeSpeed, I don't know exactly..
Help :cold_sweat:

What was the point of giving 8 a nice name when you never use the name?

Now, when the color / percent of the glow changes

What causes the color / brightness to change? The only thing that I can see that causes a change is input from a web client.

it all somehow jerks (not smooth).

Pretend that we can not see what is happening. Because we can't. You need to do a MUCH better job of describing the problem.

It seems like it can be implemented via FadeSpeed

What can? There is nothing in your code remotely like FadeSpeed, so this statement seems unlikely.

        if (readString.length() < 100) {
          readString += c;
        }

Since you KNOW the maximum number of characters that you will deal with, there is NO point in pissing away resources using the String class to hold a known amount of data.
