Is there any way to turn off light when dim level less than x%
Scenario:
I We have a floorlamp with 5 IKEA Trådfri bulbs controlled with IKEA RODRET remote:
Shortpress on = Set relative 10%
Shortpress off = Set relative -10%
I’d like to ensure that lights are turned off if dim-level less than, say, 9%.
How can I achieve that? (A novice way appreciated!) Or is this even possible?
You could set up a flow that:
- is triggered (WHEN card) dimming level changes,
- Then you determine the current dimming level, using a Logic card (AND card) based on the dimming level tag and check whether it is smaller than 10%.
- If so, then switch of the light (THEN card).
Example:

Additonally, often 0.1 is used for 10% in logic cards.

You could do it as @SunBeech suggested if there are also other systems that might influence the brightness of the lights. But if it’s only controlled by this remote, or by homey than that is unnecessarily complex and will add congestion on your Zigbee network and thus be slower than needed.
There’s a way simpler solution:
You could also turn the logic for lowering the brightness into its own subroutine flow and use it in other flows as well.
