In settings, there is option to set "effect" smooth and to select "transition duration (ms)" to some value. This means to turn it off smoothly....

you can see it in this video:

I don't have it... my settings does not show all options via kodi add-on menu. I need to set it up by editing settings.xml.  

I think it is this setting, in ms, no more than 2000ms:

<setting id="bulb_1_pause_duration">400</setting>

ofcourse, depending on the action, i.e. bulb_1_play_duration, bulb_1_stop_duration etc
