Light Dimming Low Default

1

When I have a simple dimmer switch set up in home assistant. is there a way to set the low point of the slider on the light card? So when I drag it all hte way down, it doesn’t shut the light off but go to 5 or 10%? Or whatever value I choose?

Seems not to be possible: Brightness slider minimum
A work-around could be using a helper that has a minimum value and use that to set the brightness of the (light)bulb.

So on change of the helper, set brightness value of the bulb.
Not nice when you have a lot of them, but for one or two, I could live with it and Up-Vote the feature request.

I limit the maximum brightness with an automation. You could do the same for your minimum:

- id: ea872041-ff86-4edb-9b55-5d49e9636e41
  alias: 'Breakfas Bar Max Brightness'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: light.breakfast_bar
    attribute: brightness
  condition:
    condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: light.breakfast_bar
    attribute: brightness
    above: 128
  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: light.breakfast_bar
    data:
      brightness: 128

Thanks. Ya I was hoping I could just drag the slider all the way down and hit 1% instead of 0. But I ended up using a script with a double tap on the card to do the same thing… Thanks for the replies
