Ekhardt,

A version ot your solution. I have added two print commands to show where
the switching occurs. One problem is that the accuracy of the switching is
dependent on the step sizes.

f[y_Real] := Which[
    y >= ymax && fval == 1, Print[y]; fval = 0,
    y <= ymin && fval == 0, Print[y]; fval = 1,
    True, fval
    ]


ymax = 0.9; ymin = 0.1; a = 1; b = 1;

eqs = {y'[t] == a*f[y[t]] - b*y[t], y[0] == 0};

fval = 1; NDSolve[eqs, y[t], {t, 0, 15}];

0.903906
0.0810061
0.913014
0.0807329
0.912961
0.0807266
0.90911

y1[t_] = y[t] /. First[%];

Plot[y1[t], {t, 0, 15}, PlotRange -> All]
