Well, first of all, I would leave Location Mode alone, you don’t want to mix 2 completely different things - presence and time of day. [/quote]
Re-reading your posts, I’m a little confused now about modes. Is there both a “Mode” and a “Location Mode” (while building pistons I’ve seen it shown both ways as a selection option)? If so, how are they different?
Okay, I found the answer to Mode vs Location Mode question back on post 1794. They are one in the same, just named differently… very confusing to the new user.
Last week i set up a basic piston i called “Home Arrival” that unlocks the front door if any of two arrival sensors are in proximity to my hub. Everything was working fine until last evening when the door unlocked on its own two times in about an hour span. I locked up for the night and when i came down in the morning the front door was unlocked. It is also setup to send me texts when this piston runs. I received notifications at 5:40 and 6:27 am indicating that this piston was executed, but both my wife and i were asleep with our arrival sensors inside the home.
Does anybody have an idea why this might happen? This morning when reviewing the piston i see this option called Negate trigger - “Apply a logical NOT to the trigger.” I have no idea what this does, but i selected it because it changed my current evaluation from false to true and i figured that this might prevent false triggers. Am i on the right track? So far this morning the piston hasn’t triggered and the door hasn’t unlocked. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.
I changed it but now, when the door goes up it just waits 15m before sending notifications. Even if the door closes before 15m
Your doors will now unlock when you leave.
Check your sensors activity log, I bet it will show that they departed and arrived at the times the events occurred.
You can use the ‘save attribute to variable’ to save windspeed value from a sensor like weather tile, I think it reports wind or if you have any other source that you use.
It looks like it also triggered just before midnight at 11:58 so my house was unlocked all night. Thats great. Is this a Smartthings sensor issue? I was previously running this through SmartRules for about a month without issue.
by this post it seems you’re using the little presence sensor fobs… do a search on the forum about this issue. It’s very widely discussed.
I recommend that if you are going to use the sensors to unlock your doors that you should set up a piston to have them auto lock after X minutes of being open.
Then you don’t have to worry about the false alarms nearly as much.
I would contact ST support to find out what triggered the lock
Hi all
So CoRE is working so well. Thanks Ady264 again
I have a scenario I would like to implement to avoid endpoints getting out of sync with switches.
Yes I know ‘fix the getting out of sync’ but I think this is now down to fast physical switching…
I have motion sensed lights basically and power usage reporting thanks to erocm1231
This is what I currently do and in [] what I would like to do -
if MOTION changes to ACTIVE then
----LIGHTS Turn On
else
----Wait x minutes
----LIGHTS Turn Off
[
----if LIGHTS Power >= 0 then
--------LIGHTS Toogle
----endif
endif
So how can I nest the if statement in the ELSE?
Appreciate your help…
I’m personally not a fan of having a cloud based system control the exterior locks on my home for this very reason. Issues with any of the devices involved in controlling the lock can make it act up. If I was to install smart locks and control them by presence, I would have a fob and a phone setup for each person that has lock control. At lease then both the fob presence and the phone presence would have to flake out to cause the lock to unlock. Basically double authentication.
My “home arrival” piston triggered the unlock. The arrival sensor is working as intended and shows it arrived at 6:41pm. “Home arrival” triggered at 11:58pm, 5:40am, and 6:27am while sensors were home. I’ll give it another day or two and see if this continues then switch back to SmartRules since it was not causing any problems. Thanks for the assistance.
On another note, can somebody tell me what this means:
“Negate trigger - Apply a logical NOT to the trigger.”
Another basic CoRE question here. When looking at the dashboard, what do the different colors of the vertical lines mean? What about the solid dots and outline dots?
Actually I’m using a Samsung Radiant360 R1 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Speaker. It’s smart things compatible and supports TTS. The Smart Things “Speaker Notify with Sound” app works fine, but CORE just does not do anything. Can you tell me how to review the logs for the speaker in Smarthings. I cannot seem to get it working. One time I did see CORE items in Live logging, but I think I just got lucky and clicked the right time, right place.
Blue — evaluated to true
Red — evaluated to false … I think that’s red, LOL
Dark Gray — not evaluated, and yes, the color is gray 
Solid dot — trigger
Outlined dot — condition
House — attribute/capability of the DTH exposed by CoRE
Also note that the colored lines refer to the state of the previous evaluation of the piston/conditions, i.e., it is not a real-time evaluation.
I created a simple app. Speak the word “Test” at 12:38. App ran, nothing happened.

I changed a few of the IDs in the post since I was not sure it showing them exposed anything.
what am I missing. This is pretty simple. Always getting 0 and trust me I live in New Mexico and the wind is always blowing
Will post an example pic shortly
