I have 2 dimmers that get set to 20% when we wake up. I would like to have them reset to 100% after this event. So when we tap the switch they go to full power and not just 20%. We are using aeon micro dimmers. Is there a way we can do this?

almost but not 100% what i was looking for. After the morning I would like to set them to 100% without them turning on. So if i turn a light on during the day they are at full brightness. But i only want this action called once right after the morning “wakeup” once the sun sets and we have them at 40% power i want to keep this setting for the rest of the night. I could set a event at like 10am to have all lights turn on to 100% then at 10:01 am turn all lights off. But I would really like to skip the turn on then off part.

Most dimmers do not support this at the hardware level. They retain the dim level last set when they are turned off.

is there a way to send 100% then off command right after so they just flicker?

Yea, but easier to use the auto dimmer smartApp I wrote to manage light levels based actual outside lux. [image] Auto Dimmer smartApp (Sept 2015 V2 update) Community Created SmartApps I couldn’t find anything like this, so here it is. Brighten or dim lights based on configurable lux thresholds, three settings, 4 dimmer ranges. Settings for each dimmer can be set individually to override the defaults if desired. App subscribes to each dimmers on() event, then adjusts the levels to those specified. Been using this for several months, wife and I like a lot. The app only adjusts levels when the dimmer is initially turned on, so manual adjustments aren’t changed. The current lux selection ranges are set up around a wideband lux sensor, such as a Figaro with an exterior exposure. A major update for all the fans out there: (Sept 2015) -Entire front end re done in dynamic pages, lots of them. -Added option for per dimmer dynamic adjustment based on lux changes, allowin…

Yes there is. I have a modified device type for the Dimmer Switch device type. In my modified device type, I set the level of a dimmer, and immediately turn it back off. I added a command, resetLevel(value) to the device type to accomplish this. You can find it here: bravenel/SmartThings/blob/master/Dimmer Switch with Reset metadata { // Automatically generated. Make future change here. definition (name: "Dimmer Switch with Reset", namespace: "bravenel", author: "SmartThings") { capability "Switch Level" capability "Actuator" capability "Indicator" capability "Switch" capability "Polling" capability "Refresh" capability "Sensor" command "resetLevel" // fingerprint inClusters: "0x26" } simulator { status "on": "command: 2003, payload: FF" status "off": "command: 2003, payload: 00" status "09%": "command: 2003, payload: 09" This file has been truncated. show original This will cause the light to flicker briefly (for some bulbs), but the level will be set for the next time the light is turned on with the switch.

As far as I can determine, yes. I had trouble doing this with an app, it would fail to turn them off sometimes. That’s why I modified the device type. Also, I have played around with the timing. At first I used 500 ms between setting the level and turning it off. That seemed rock solid, so I decreased the time to 100 ms. So far, that seems rock solid, but I’ve only been using that timing for a few days.

Yes it is, sorry for the bad link. I’ll fix that. bravenel/SmartThings/blob/master/Dimmer Switch with Reset metadata { // Automatically generated.
