I have just created the absolute most wonderful Piston for “Simple Lighting” I could ever hope for in SmartThings! I have a slew of GE 12724s and they are darn dependable but have a flaw that plagued me for a long time now. Couldn’t get the light to stay off if I turned it off physically. Couldn’t get the setting to stick if automation was enabled. With this Piston and the DTH I listed earlier, all of my problems have been solved.
- Motion On-Light On (Easy)
- Motion Off Light Off (Easy)
- Light On with Manual Changes that Stick (Hard Before)
- Light Off and Motion Doesn’t Turn it Back On! (Hard Before)
- Motion Sensor Reset Wait Period to Turn Light Back On after Turned Off Physically (Hard Before)
- Different Settings for Different Times and Modes (Easy)
- Simple Automation Bypass for All Scenarios (Easy)
Now my lights work just like my dumb motion sensor! ![]()
Remember, in order to get the dimmer physical to work, you might need this DTH.
