CoRE does not support wildcards. webCoRE supports contains(haystack, needle) and it even supports regular expressions in the needle.
after selecting the simulated contact for the action, select as the first task to âwaitâ⊠then as the second task to open contact sensor.
ahhh, webCoRE, not CoRE.
Is there a tool to migrate my existing CoRE pistons to webCoRE, or is it a manual, rewrite-them-all sort of thing?
You have to rebuild them. However, itâs much quicker to build Pistons in webCoRE once you get the hang of it.

Need help making a piston, and not sure whare to start. Below is my install and the problem needing solving.
I have a ZigBee White Color Temperature Bulb installed on a switched circuit. If someone accidentally turns off the switch the light shows offline in IOS app. If I use the App to change the color of the lamp it goes back online. I would like a piston to somehow adjust that slider for color every few minutes to avoid it going offline. The reason is that when the switch comes back on it doesnât go to the daylight setting, which means I have to use the app to get it back to daylight.
I am unable to remove the switch do to code, and canât block it from turning off for the same reasons. So a Piston that would by time change the color of the lamp would solve the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey there - as anyone made a piston (perhaps integrated with IFTTT) whereby the receipt of an email (with a particular subject line/content) will program a new lock code into a Schlage BE469 (or similar). Think it would be possible? (sorry - Iâm new to CoRE)âŠ
Essentially Iâm hoping to automate a vacation rental lock. My VR software automatically generates and sends the renter a lock codeâŠbut right now, I have to program the code into the lock (through @rboy 's app). I was hoping I could just bcc myself on that auto-email, and have IFTTT/CoRE extract the info from the email and program the lock.
Maybe Iâm asking too much?
Iâm not familiar with robyâs app but it sounds like it would be possible depending on a few things. Extracting the info from the email may be the most difficult part.
@LCSteve suggested using a custom DTH, and a WeBCoRe Piston which I did and so far so good.
/**
- Osram Lightify RGBW A19/BR30 US version (HA) DTH rev 6/6/2017
- by gkl_sf
- set default color/level code by ranga
- To set default initial (power-on) color/level:
-
- set your preferred color/level
-
- wait for few seconds, then tap the Set Default tile
-
- wait 3-5 minutes for the process to complete (do NOT switch off or change any settings during this time)
-
- the main (on/off) tile will turn orange with âWAITâ status during this period; if it does not reset after 3-5 minutes, tap the refresh tile
-
- after that, you can try switching power off and on to see if the new color/level is set correctly
-
- may need to upgrade firmware (via ST OTA) for this to work

Hey, I could use some help synchronizing a hue bulb group and a smart switch. I have several Hue bulbs set up as a group in my bedroom and primarily use Alexa or my phone to control the group (configured using the (re)connect smartapp. In addition to these though, I also have a Leviton smart switch that Iâd like to control the Hue group as well (and ideally keep the two methods of control in sync). Right now I have it set up where it triggers the switch to toggle on/off when the Hue group changes, as well as to trigger the Hue group on/off when the physical switch is toggled. This, on its own, causes an infinite loop of sorts, since one condition triggers the other, which goes back and triggers the original, etc⊠To try and break out of this loop, I added an extra conditional to each that checks previousAge() of the two âdevicesâ and only evals to true when itâs been greater than 10 seconds. However, even this seems somewhat unstable and sometimes I get 3-4 toggles before it settles down. Does anyone have a better/simpler way to achieve this. I think logically it is somewhat similar to a three-way switch, in that there are 2 points of control, but slightly more complex since we need to make sure the state of each is syncâed w/ the other. Any help w/ the logic for this would be huge!
Why notâŠJust create a core rule to turn on/off your hue bulbs when your Leviton smartswitch is turned on/off. Assuming your Leviton switch can be seen by Alexa, use Alexa to turn on the Leviton switch when using voice and then you can still use the switch to toggle the lights. Then they will always be in sync.
Otherwise if the switch cannot be seen by Alexa, create a virtual toggle switch within ST and then add that to the group of lights that Alexa turns on. You can then create a rule in Core to have the Leviton switch sync with the virtual switch.
Thatâs the way I used to have it but wanted scene/color changing and dimming control of the hue group via voice, which I couldnât do with just the physical switch exposed to Alexa. I guess I could expose both but have different names for them, but then that also gets a bit confusing for the voice control.
what about naming the switch âhue bulbâ and the alexa group âhue bulbsâ⊠then you can dim âhue bulbsâ or set color on âhue bulbsâ⊠and still turn on âhue bulbâ. Just thinking out loud.
@fstbusa, I was thinking of that, but adding any extra complexity w/ the wife doesnât go over very well⊠I think I actually figured something out though! Instead of using the previousAge() function, Iâm now just setting a variable (inProgress), which defaults to false, but then gets toggled to true once the piston starts. Then, thereâs a 5 second wait timer and the inProgress var gets reset to false afterwards. Lastly, I added an extra conditional that ensures inProgress != true before acting on the event. So far this seems to work great in my testing over the past few hours.

I think I have something similar? I use voice to change the colour and brighten/ dim but then a piston set up so when a switch itâs triggered on the wall if the light is on, turn it of and visa versa. But I also have it set so depending on the location mode the switch on from the switch will also turn the light on at different levels. I also have these lights in groups using @tonesto7 trendsetter which is brilliant at keeping everything synchronized.
Need some help with error message. Havenât messed with My CoRE setup in months. Everything was fine previously. Today I keep getting following error when I try to select DONE option at last point to return to piston list after viewing/editing a piston. I know, I know, should switch to webCoRE but I have been too lazy.
- Already updated/published to latest: v0.3.16d.20170828
- Utilizing iPhone/iPad both same result & both on latest ST app
- Checked live logging - no messages under core except for dashboard link
- Dashboard working fine
- Pistons seem to be operating fine & can be edited despite error
- I do not have a large setup, maybe 30 or so pistons
- I can add a new piston, receive piston added & automating message, then same error msg despite it is saved
- I end up having to select back arrow to exit piston view BUT changes I made to piston actually remain, so itâs accepting the edit despite the message each time I try the DONE button to exit piston edit/view page
Hey you awesome CORE people need a little help with this.
So I have this awesome piston that tells us if a door has been left open for longer than 5 mins
Problem is say for example like this week the Inside Garage Door stays open because I have contractors using the garage as a work shop to bring stuff in and out. Then when I open and close another door it causes this piston to fire because the inside garage door is still open and has been open all day. So I need a way to tell the app that until this condition changes just ignore it or something so that it will stop announcing that the door is open.
Down the road Iâd like to build a way to loop a reminder that said door is still open so that someone will go close it.
Edit I accidentally posted this on another thread.
I am trying to setup a simple piston that would would keep track all my contact sensors and when any of them is opened, I would like to see a push notification for any and all contact sensors reporting open state.
I tried with one sensor to see when a door is open, but I cant seem to get the 2 things - the device name and the current status of that device to show up as push notification.
My piston basically would monitor for open condition then using location set string variable testVar to $currentEventDevice.
In the then condition, using location, send push notification with the text being {testVar}.
The notification shows incorrect text - time (the text in the notification is time, strange).
I can see the assignment of testVar is not empty instead of {currentEventDevice} although I have select that value in the assignment.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any suggestions appreciated.

I had a simple piston that if a virtual âarrival switchâ was on and the motion sensor was active i would send a voice message to my speakerâŠpretty simple. Then I decided I would like to set another switch âarrival Text switchâ and if it was on and there was motion then it would send both a text message as well as the voice notification. I use Echo to set whichever switch i need depending on if I was at home or outside.
It seems to be working as if the switches are reversed, and I donât know what the exclamation point means beside the switch name
Thanks for any help
I hope someone can help with this problemâŠ
Iâm trying to use the âStaysâ or âWasâ condition, with a SmartThings Power socket (Switch/Power Meter) and it just doesnât seem to be working.
For example: â3D Printer power was greater than 20W for at least30 minutesâ has been on all night, but is evaluating as false. Same with â3D Printer power was greater than 20W for at least 30 minutesâ
Same deal if I try â3D Printer stays ON for 30 minutesâ
Is this because itâs been on longer than 30 minutes? How do I configure that?
What I want to say is: if 3D Printer power drops below 20W, AND 3D Printer power was greater than 20W for more than 30 minutes.
It just doesnât seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam
Hi
Looking for some help on my piston,
What I am trying to achieve is as follows:
if motion detected in lounge and lights are off, then set level and colour to 2 x lights in lounge
If no motion for 15 minutes
turn off.
This will allow me to let Plex adjust lights on events ( once in the room) and the motion sensor then wont keep turning the lights up
I have finally got the lights to turn on and to the right level and colour, and they do not change once on (great) with any additional motion, I just cant get them to turn off after 15-minutes on no motion.( screenshots of 2 of my attempts)
Any help appreciated
