CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

[dpatrick (Richard Patrick)]

Thanks Jay, I’ll give that a try. I started out with a Simple, but missed the “else” trigger at the end.
They are the Iris doors that Lowe’s sells. The RF tag goes on the dog’s collar and you can adjust the range of the tag to the door. They work well from ST, but my only option was to let her out through the garage. The only negative about the door I see so far is how loud it is when it unlocks, it’s a loud pop when it releases. It scares the dog but I’m sure she will get over it when I hold it open and give her bacon.
thanks

CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

When you enter the code and you view the piston in the dashboard, it will populate variables and you’ll see currentEventDeviceIndex variable with a number next to it. I’m guessing it would be 2, but not completely positive. You can then perform some tasks based on the lock code used. See if the following makes sense… it’s just a test piston, substitute your device. IF ● Front Door Lock lock #1, #2, #3, #4, or #5 changes to unlocked THEN... Using location... ► Send Push notification '{$currentEventDevice}: unlocked with code #{$currentEventDeviceIndex}'

Since these are sensors should I use closed as the trigger for IF instead of locked?

Look back at my post #4336. I layed out the piston there for you. Thanks for the info on the dog doors, I got 2 boxers and was thinking about the doors the other day.

[dpatrick (Richard Patrick)]

Got it. There are a couple of models around and the only ones that work with ST are the Lowe’s Iris ones that have 4 lights on the front.
thanks

Could you please elaborate on your setup? I added a variable condition and then action to the piston but am unsure of how to create the task timer to reset the variable. Thanks for your help and quick response.

Something like this, you can use a boolean var instead of how I use a string.

IF
● Aeon Multisensor LR illuminance raises to or above 5lux
◦ Variable {luxTriggered} (as string) is off
When true...
Using Dining Room Hue and Living Room Hue...
► Turn off
► Send Push notification 'Indoor Lights Off'
► Set string variable {luxTriggered} = "on"
► Wait 12 hours
► Set string variable {luxTriggered} = "off"

I’m trying to set up a Piston to turn on lights when either me or my wife gets back after dark, but only if that person was away for more than 15 minutes.
Can figure out how to do the 15 minutes part for just the person who arrived.

@ady624 Should my IDE showing the core have the (dev) behind it. Could this be my problem. I saw several other screen shots that didn’t have it.

Having an error when trying to edit or create a new CoRE Piston. Seems to have started happening after i updated the app on Android to the latest version. I’m getting an error, you are not authorized. Is anyone else having this problem. Also how can I fix this without having to manually recreate all my pistons.

Hey,

Just loaded CoRE tonight to start my automation efforts in earnest. I crafted a simple pistone for unlocking my front door but would like to make it more sophisticated for security reasons.

The current logic is this:
IF these times on these days
AND (IF presence sensor changes to present FOLLOWED BY front door motion sensor activated)
THEN unlock the front door

How can I add the logic to say "IF presence sensor changes to present FOLLOWED BY front door motion sensor activated within 5 minutes of presence status change, THEN unlock door?

I am trying to use the core and set basic. i was getting error you are not authorized to perform the requested operations.

this is the first time i am trying

That’s to be expected if your hub just updated to 2.2.2 and you’re running on Android (see jkp’s post a few up). My hub just now upgraded after creating my first piston so not only can I not try tatonvn’s suggestion, my piston is gone

[dytkd (Diego Yong)]

I installed CoRE, and I tried to set up my first piston, and I keep getting a message that says “You are not authorized to perform the requested operation”

What did I do wrong?

[jiverish]

If you’re on Android, see posts above about the ST 2.2.2 release breaking CoRE on Android.

Here’s the older version if yout want to roll back.

@ady624, @eibyer Were you able to take a look at internal web requests using “Make web request”? I have tried every conceivable way to send JSON PUT commands to my philips hue bridge with no success. The command shows as executed in CoRE simulator and ST logging, but nothing happens on the server end. Thanks for any tips, guidance, or response… Please let me know if I can provide anything to help with this issue.

Have not seen new version to test it out. Adrian must be busy putting his Christmas lights up
