I am a newbie how do I show the piston?

4595

Which capability type should I select if I want to use the vibration sensor in the ST Multisensor? Do I have to use the 3-Axis sensor or is there something else that is closer to what I need?
Thanks in advance!

Use acceleration

You might need to enable OAuth in the IDE for CoRE if you have not done so already.

If you go to the weather tile in your things and refresh it, look at the dashboard variables and see if you get a value for illuminance.

4601

Yes it is getting the value but it is not auto refreshing.

4602

Did it use to? You might have to create a piston to auto refresh it every X mins/hours or so.

Edit: When it refreshes, does that piston above work?

4603

no I just installed it yesterday. How would I go about creating that piston?

4604

Something like:

IF Time happens every 30 minutes
Using Local Weather...
Refresh (see what's available)
4605

Ok set it up will see if that fixes the other piston. Thank for the help.

I am having a problem with the piston below.
The “When true…” Do not work but the final “Then…” does

I would write this in this fashion…

 IF
 Any of those doors changes to open.
 THEN
 Using the back light left and the back flood light
          > turn on (using restrictions - only during xxx time)
          > wait ten minutes
          > turn off (cancel on piston state change)
 Using all of the lights
          > turn on (using restrictions - only during that other time)
          > wait ten minutes
          > turn off (cancel on piston state change)

Im trying to capture the state of a few hue spots, but for some reason it wont capture the right color temperature,
Anything wrong with this piston? Is it a particular time it needs be on a setting before it can be captured? I was thinking If there is some lag before system is updated after I change color temperature and then capture it?

What is the best way to turn on a light when motion is detected and then turn off when there is no motion?

I’m currently using a wait timer but would be nice to turn off once no motion is detected for 5 minutes or so.

I’ve reset my token, saved and published via IDE but when I attempt to launch the dashboard from the ST / CoRE app I get invalid_token Is there an additional step I’m missing?

Thanks
