I’m actually using a Wi-Fi presence sensor, and an virtual presence sensor. It works so well, I forgot I was even using it
So, my wife, myself and the car use this for presence. To avoid false presence issues, there is a setting in the app that allows me to set how long am I away before it reports away. The car connects to my wifi when I pull up, then a few minutes later after turning off it disconnects.
If you have an asus router I highly recommend it. I use the Wi-Fi presense for things like unlocking doors. I figure its a little more secure, since I have to be pretty close to connect to wifi.
I have a piston that has been working in the past, but it is now showing "kill switch is active, aborting piston execution. I’ve read through posts and have tried toggling (on then off) the “kill switch” within the Webcore settings, with no success. I’ve also logged out/in, cleared cache, update webcore, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?
Is anyone else using alarmserver and DSC integration? If yes, did you find a way to use the DSC virtual panel state (i.e: ready, not ready, alarming, etc) into webCoRE?
The only variable it seems to store is the virtual switch status (on/off).
Actually, the variables, $sunrise and $sunset, pertain to the current day. If you use the presets, Sunrise and Sunset, then conditions like “Between Sunset and Sunrise” evaluate correctly.
In expression you have access to the variable $nextsunrise. Else, you can do as I did and create a group condition “after sunset OR before sunrise” to achieve what you want.
Edit : it quoted the wrong user for somewhat reason… @Jwwhite
I’ve pieced together a couple of pistons to monitor a few things and I’m trying to call a piston to send a text message to a cell number based on which cell created the presence event. At the bottom of this piston. I assume that I need to associate each with a phone number, but I can’t grasp how to do it. Can someone help?
Okay, long fades are definitely broken. I reduced all my sunset fades to 30mins, and they didn’t even make it a quarter of the way this time before stalling. Logs don’t give any clues as to why… They just stop.
If you do not see settings at the top of your piston editor then click on options and enable show piston settings. Then click on settings at the top of the script view. This dialog will open. Select the gear cog to show advanced options.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to set color temperature using the Lifx Set State command? I found this thread but wasn’t sure if I could enter this information in webcore like it suggests. {“color”: “kelvin:2500 saturation:0”}
Yes, webCoRE exposes most LIFX commands via direct integration. Visit the Settings section in the dashboard to set up the LIFX integration, then use the LIFX Set State command.
I’m already to that point but I wasn’t sure how I would enter the Kelvin and saturation values in the set state command because those are not options. Do I use an expression for color?
I must be missing something because there is no color temperature (Kelvin) option. Only a color option.
EDIT: In the thread I posted it seems that maybe the color temperature option was removed from the api but it could still be entered under color using kelvin and saturation=0. Was curious if this could be entered as an expression somehow in webcore.
