Actually, it is not about minimum load but minimum leak current that flow through load (bulb or whatever) in off condition. The LED has very load leak current, thus could not provide enough power to the switch circuitry. Therefore, the switch is provided with capacitor normally about 0.1uF to be connected parallel to the load (LED bulb in this case). The capacitor will leak the AC current to the switch to ensure the switch works as it should.

So, if you have flickering problem, you need to install the capacitor. Otherwise, there is no need to.

hi sifus.. im trying to use xiaomi cube to turn on my sonoff-tasmota switch in home assistant.. apparently not able to get it to work.. I have put the following lines in my configuration.yaml :

automation:
- alias: Cube event tap_twice
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: xiaomi_aqara.cube_action
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.cube_158d0002794b5b
action_type: tap_twice
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.sonoffTest1


can anyone point out to me where im doing it wrong ?

U didn't check the config after adding the changes?
Looks like the gap after action: which is service: and entity_id: is too far.
Should be just 2 spaces below action:

corrected the indentation.. config check show valid... but my cube is still not triggering my sonoff switch
am I using any wrong codes here ?

When you press Trigger on the automation card at frontend, does it switch on?
Try change to switch.turn_on instead of homeassistant.turn_on.

And are you on 0.83 for HA version?
There were some breaking changes.

All events are prefixed now by "xiaomi_aqara". Please update your automations:

motion -> xiaomi_aqara.motion
click -> xiaomi_aqara.click
cube_action -> xiaomi_aqara.cube_action


0.83
