I have 3 pistons running one device (porch light).(it works) Is it better to leave it this way or try and create one piston that does it all. Does it matter? my 1st piston turns on the porch light between time, sets the level and turns off. my 2nd piston reset the level (if light is on) when pre…

[image] 3x0088: Instead of using presence, I bought a motion sensor and got what I wanted done. Thank-you all for looking at my problem @JDRoberts , I promise I’ll try really hard next time to get it in the correct area. Eric Glad you got it working! Don’t worry about the subcategories, …

Well, I contemplated on where to put this, I guess I missed the mark again, I’ll would delete it and repost there,but can’t find the delete for the original post.

If it works, I’d say leave it alone. Several of us have tried to make large single pistons that do lots of different things and have decided that smaller separate pistons are easier to build and manage. If you run into different pistons conflicting with each other’s actions, you can always change th…

I’ve booked marked your answer so hopefully I’ll get it right next time,

Thanks for the reply, still trying to get my head around smartthings and core, I thought it would be better as one, but had problems with it shutting off. I knew I could do it in 2 or 3 pistons. I’ll try it again to do it in 1.

If you are wondering how to combine these into a single piston, here is a piston that I have for my garage. Not the same use case, but you can easily see how to do this… I prefer to put this in a single piston as if I didn’t instead of having 37 pistons, I’d likely have around 200. Hard to manage. …

Well I’ve got one written and so far it’s not coming on when it’s not suppose to and going off when it’s suppose to. Have to wait till it comes on to check the rest of it in about an hour from now. Your code seems like it would work and a whole lot simpler that mine. I got to wait and see if mine w…

Can you give the exact scenario you’re trying to create? Or post screenshots of the 3 individual pistons?
