We are running a Cisco 2960x switch. We have multiple PoE enabled devices attached. These devices typically draw 6W. The devices can also be powered by a DC input, at which point they switch to DC power. When running via DC the switch shows that they are typically drawing 0.9W PoE. Is there a way to configure the switch so that if a device is drawing less than 1 or 2 watts that the switch will disable PoE for that port?

2960X supports EEM.

After wasting an afternoon found this statement online, "EEM is not supported on the 2960 series. Only EEM-Lite is supported".
I am unable to program applets into my 2960, I am running 15.2 (2) E7.
Also noted in this Cisco thread: https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/eem-support-on-catalyst-2960-x/td-p/2396901
I am unable to find any documentation on EEM-Lite.

What is the exact model of 2960X?

Catalyst 2960-X
Ver reports WS-C2960X-24PS-L

The product code ends with an "-L". That means LAN Base (and not LAN Lite).
EEM is supported. I have a lot of 2960X and I have EEM enabled on each stack.

Then I'm missing something because when I try to initiate an applet I get an invalid input error, see below.
Switch#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#event manager applet DC-IN-POE-OFF
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Switch(config)#
