Hello, in HA I had an option to “mirror” a light state IE: one bulb mirrors the behavior of another or a dimmer in my case.  
I use this in 2 scenarios / just a simple on off I can write a flow but what about on off and dimming (no color needed) is there an app or flow for that?

Thanks

You could put the dimming level into al variable and then use that value for another light.

Thanks for the idea it works but all my light switches don’t AND I bought new ones (wifi Kasa)but Homey can’t add those either lol I have a post in devices for that as well

Thanks! That’s perfect! I searched for days for “state” “mirror” and this is what I was looking for!

“Dim level” and “Level” are 2 different variables!

@JPe4619 thanks! The App suggested by DirkG “light Triggers” did the trick!
