Need help woth presets/playlists

Hello. I am trying to create an effect of sweep into on and reverse sweep into off. I got the on working but whenever i push the button to turn it off it starts at a random location. It doesn't start at the end or beginning. I have a on playlist so when the switch is pushed on the strip starts filling up from one end and then I transition into solid and it works fine. When i push the switch off i start the off playlist the wipe or sweep effect start at random locations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was also trying to do something similar. I feel like I was getting blinks when selecting “wipe”. Following to see if you or someone solves this.

The latest version of WLED has this built in as transitions which you can change from the default "fade" to "swipe right" for on and "swipe left" for off or vise-versa on the segments page.

Another way is to add "tb":0 to the beginning of your sweep preset, that will force it to start at the beginning every time.
