> [@Sverre\_Rakkenes](#): > > I set my global variable to something that it should not be. Now i can not edit it nor delete it. First set a value to the var per logics flow card “set a numeric variable”. After that, you can edit / delete the var. > [@Sverre\_Rakkenes](#): > > Also if anyone has example of global variable for ikea light and ho to dim up and down would be nice You can’t. But you can read them with the logics conditional cards, or use them in notification / log cards f.i. May I ask, why don’t you just use the available dim cards for the light device? ![Screenshot_20230725-193231_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/2/c26aa18ba5027dda091b48507f712795efbc9daf.jpeg) For the login issue you’d contact [support](https://homey.app/support) imho ---
