New to Homey. I’ve connected my Lutron Caseta hub with the Lutron app; turning on lights via Homey (i.e. just clicking on the device icon) sets the dim level to 100% instead of the last brightness. Similarly, flows that set the dim level as the first step will first start at 100% before changing to declared level. I’ve searched but only found older posts discussing this, and not all are related to Homey. Is there a solution, or is it a limitation of Homey and the local connection to Lutron? This is not a problem with Alexa to Lutron (which is cloud-to-cloud via the Alexa skill), or with SmartThings (which may also be cloud-to-cloud). ---

You can use the Flowcard “Set dim level to …”. This usually also turns the device on, which means that it starts at the specified dim level ---

I actually am doing that, but it still flashes quickly to 100% before changing the level. Do you have a Lutron setup that isn’t behaving that way? ---

Assuming you are using [this](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.casetawireless/Lutron-Cas%C3%A9ta/) app. The [forum topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-lutron-caseta-complete-control/143582) has no replies at the moment. But then again the developer is asking to reach out to them via e-mail. So maybe that’s the best step forward. You could leave a reply in the app topic about the issue and that you’ve contacted the developer (to inform other users).
