I would be very grateful if someone could give me an example on how “set relative dim-level” works. I have a light switch with the option to “long-press” and would like to use it to dim the lights gradually. If I understand the function correctly, relative dim-level is what I need? Or if someone has…

Thank you that is very helpful!

So I’ve understood how it works according to the previous messages but for some reason it only works once, what might I be doing wrong? If I turn my light off it’s “shining” at 0% correct?

Just tested this. With another trigger or with the test button like Roy stated it works like a charm. Can u try another trigger or, like @RoyWissenburg mentioned, try the test button to see what happens?

I just tried “dim to” and set it to 20% and its actually not as bright as when usin relative dim to 20% from zero…so I guess that’s where the issue is… No difference if I press the test button…

In Holland we say: Meten is weten. Like “not as bright” can mean a lot of things.

Well basically if I turn the light off and then use relative dim 20%,the light dims to about 80%.whereas if I use basic “dim to” and 20%, the light actually dims to 20% which is a lot less bright than 80%

Same behavior. It’s the relative dim that refuses to work in my flow… It just dims to the same value every time and stays there…
