That’s not what I meant, and _ **it causes a loop** _  
When turned off → dim to % (this causes most lights to turn on with dimlevel %) → Then turn off  
Now the flow starts again immediately, because:  
When turned off → dim to % (this causes most lights to turn on with dimlevel %) → Then turn off  
Now the flow starts again immediately, because:  
When turned off → dim to % (this causes most lights to turn on with dimlevel %) → Then turn off  
Now the flow starts again immediately, because …

And so on and on.

I even showed it in the other topic, you added the trigger somehow 🤷‍♂️😉

I did not say to trigger the flow with ‘When light X is turned off’

I meant, or tried to explain, in all the flows where you use the action card “Then turn light X off” you should use  
Then…  
-dim light X to 1%  
-turn light X off after 1s  
instead.

Now the light should have dimlevel 1% when you turn it on from anywhere.

I hope it’s a bit clearer now
