save/load state from variable[/quote]
You didnāt ask, but Iām going to impute a request from your ānot doneā list for a suggestion. Have you considered the isPhysical attribute for a switch (to determine if it was physically or programmaticly pressed)? No prob if it canāt be done or just doesnāt make your cut list.
I believe thatās an event property, not an attribute? What attributes does it apply to? Any one? Or is it only switch? Does it mean that someone physically (mechanically) flipped the switch?

Yes, it means that it was actually physically pressed at the switch, not via programming.
Didnt monitor this afternoon and I am mow able to see the scheduler timers associated with the invoking statement - all I have asked for. Awesome - blown away - donated cheers!!! Keep the good stuff coming.
After posting this in the wrong thread, here goes:
Okay, hereās the BIG news. v0.0.061.20160602 - Alpha test version - Minor bug fixes. Introducing the Follow-Up piston. Chain them together, delay them forever, do whatever you need with them
Follow-Up pistons are just like the Simple pistons. The only differences are:
does not support triggers
does not subscribe to anything
They can be initiated from other pistons via the Follow up with piston task. This task can be delayed just like any other using the Wait task in front of it, so you can technically say "IF (this) Then (that) Else (wait 5 min, follow up with piston).
Even better, you can follow up with the piston over and overā¦ the follow up piston can follow up with another piston, even itself. Combine that with a global variable counter and you can have a complex solution where something initiates the counter, does things and follows up with a piston that can follow up with itself x times until either your expectations are met, or the counter hits 0, hence giving upā¦ I guess, unlimited possibilities Enjoy.
Bam! Done. Use v0.0.061 LOL - I am so happy I decided to go with hexadecimal, or else Iād be running out of numbers 000-999ā¦ LOL Chrome and Firefox are eating dustā¦
Follow up to this. When I create a new piston and hit āDoneā, it goes back to the CoRE āhomeā page and not to the SmartApps page. And eventually the new piston shows up in the list, so that appears to function as expected. Itās only when you tap āDoneā on an existing piston that it skips back over the āhomeā page to the SmartApps page.
What canāt you add? Hold on, making some changes to the follow up. Will allow any piston, ask for delay, and possibility to return resulting piston state to a variable. Also adding Execute piston which would not have the delay. Also, follow-up pistons should not schedule time events. It does as of now, bug.

[/quote]Just to add my $.02ā¦ I am certain this was new behavior, beginning roughly 7-10 days ago.
