> That is not possible with the zwave binding. SmartThings had this functionality, but it may only have been for zigbee. Do you receive updates when the device is manually turned on or off? If so, trigger a rule when that Item changes and set the light to the light level appropriate for the time of day. It won’t be seemless, but close.

_yawn at 3AM_ _click_ _FLASH_ “I’m blind! I’m blind!” _dimm to 30%_ “And now it’s even more dark!” 😉

Relay is [this aeotec nano dimmer](https://aeotec.com/z-wave-light-dimmer-switch/) - but i think i found a solution for my problem.  
There is a setting “maximum brightness level” which i could use.  
I have to figure out how it behaves if it switches back to 90%, but the REST-API should be something to start with.
