CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

All I’m trying to do is when the motion sensor gets tripped it will capture the attributes of a light, then turn it up to 10

Before starting piston, set CoRE for expert mode: Settings->ExpertFeatures turn ON Expert Mode

This is a basic piston that uses the expert features. This makes the piston super simple. You will do all your work within the ‘IF’ statement.

First, select your motion sensors. On that same card in the UI, scroll down and you will find ‘When True’ and ‘When False’. It is in here where you will place your actions.

‘When True’, save the level attribute into a local variable called level. Then, set the light to 100%.
‘When False’, Wait, then Set Level (variable) and use the ‘level’ variable.

Here is another example:

Case Study - Buglight (Capture and Restore State) This piston is useful where you have flying insects that are drawn to light. It will dim the lights down to 10% while the door contact is open, then restore the lights to their original levels. This piston will demonstrate the use of capturing and restoring states of lights. Required: 1 sensor At least 1 bulb Before starting, set for expert mode: Settings->ExpertFeatures turn ON Expert Mode Piston Mode: Basic [image]
