Ok. got it. I have played around with double tap but with that I cant control the color / color temperature of the bulbs. Therefore I wanted to move to Core for my usecase to make lights go to some default color.
Any idea with my second issue ? It is driving me insane.
most of the times, 1 of the 2 bulbs changes the color. in smart things UI, the device says it has the new color but actually it is not. (it is the previous dimmed color setting when I turned off the lights). I split out the bulbs into individual actions, but still same issue
You would need to follow @eibyer comment and check live logs to see that if the bulb is already on and you click on again if it sends the command again.
I currently have an audio device that will play different tracks when SHM changes to a certain state-- “Security system is now disarmed”, “Security system is now armed and away”, “Security system is now armed and home”. That’s basically triggered any time SHM changes to one of those states. I’m using CoRE for this and it works great.
I have a keypad, that when used to arm the system, will delay the arming 40 seconds. If you watch the keypad device in STs after it’s been used to arm, you’ll see it change its status to “DelayedArmed”. The keypad then beeps for 40 seconds, then it arms SHM. My goal is to create another audio alert that would fire when this change happens to DelayedArmed, that would announce “Security system will arm in 40 seconds. Please exit now.”
My thought was when the keypad receives the command “setExitDelay” that I could trigger an action to play that track from my audio devices. But I’m not sure how I’d go about doing that. I can see different Events happening on that device, so is there a way to create a piston that executes something when device receives a specific command? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m really close to the wife being happy with how this all operates.
I got that, I am talking about the other issue where 1 of the 2 bulbs randomly does not change the color (even though the device in smart things ide shows as having the correct color.
See, now I’m running into the same issue I was having in the other thread. I don’t have the option of “attribute”. What am I missing here? I’m using iOS.
I have a bunch of setting like chimes and welcome home phrases but notice that they sometimes are delay by minutes. Is there a way to stop the piston so they don’t do that. An example would be that my door chimes when you open it but sometimes is delay. Would want it to cancel the chime if I close the door behind me.
I created a piston that will flash my lights when one of my presence sensors changes to Present. This works, but I also have an I’m back routine that will run automatically whenever someone arrives.
The piston is firing when it’s supposed to, but the routine doesn’t seem to be going off according to my notifications. Any idea what I’m doing wrong or if I can set it up differently?
