Thanks Kevin and Ady. I have now updated the piston as per the wiki instructions. I have similar pistons setup without a wait. Do I need to update TSP and TCP for these or is it only for pistons with wait? They as as below.

TSP and TCP are meaningless when there are no waits, so no, you do not have to

Thanks Ady.
Quick question about WebCore since I have to program it from https://dashboard.webcore.co/. Are all my events being run locally on the ST Hub or are they all being sent to this server somewhere? If my Internet is offline will my pistons still run or am I reliant on the developer of WebCore keeping servers online to do all piston logic?
Also quick feedback, it would be awesome if we had categories on the dashboard, unless I’m just not seeing them. Makes it easier to lump pistons into security, lighting, notifications, groups like that.
Thanks, so just to clarify if I have a piston that says “At midnight, if house is in Vacation mode, automatically lock all the doors (in case my neighbour who is feeding my pets forgets to which is often).” and then at 11:50pm my cable Internet goes down until 8am, my doors could potentially be unlocked all night until 8am? Or same with my event “If the door is locked with user code 2, arm the DSC alarm automatically” but the Internet goes down at that time, my alarm would sit disabled?
Do people use LTE or something as a secondary connection then for redundancy?
Nothing will happen if you do not have access to the internet. So yes potentially your house could be unlocked all night, just as if the neighbor didn’t lock it. Same for not disarming your alarm.
I haven’t heard of anyone using LTE as backup. I don’t have critical things reliant on this system. If it goes down then I deal with having to turn on my lights the old way until it is back up.
There have been a few discussions on this. Use a router with 4G/LTE SIM so you have dual wan. Can be expensive, or really expensive. Unless you can get service with one of the “free” providers. But these generally aren’t 60 dollar routers either. There are more complex ways to do it cheaply but a search should reveal more.
Looks excellent! great job. This is exactly what I was looking for!
I will give it a try and if all is well I will certainly donate !!!
Excellent work done by the community… well done to Ady624 for WebCore and all behind CoRE !!!
CoRE + WebCore suddenly makes the Smartthings Hub so much more powerful and versatile!!!

Indeed, connectivity is an issue for Smartthings, as the hub is a dead duck if not online!
I have a Synology RT1900 which can do many things among which automatically fail over from WAN to 3G/LTE USB Dongle (or another WAN port) and get back to the primary WAN interface once the connection is back up!
You are replying to the wrong guy. I have no intention of using a backup connection to the internet. My connection is rarely down. And if it goes down then oh well.
a little help please. I’m getting an error when entered in the 4 digit authentication.
So? 10 char
Try again? usually if it looks like a 1 it is a lowercase L
still not working, even with just 4 numbers of authentication.
It’s asking for the PASSWORD you entered during setup, not a PIN - and it’s not the browser registration code either.
got it.
Thanks “ady624”
Use to have 6 pistons that ran at sunset for light control, 3 pistons turned on 3 different groups and had 3 pistons ran 10 mins later to check to make sure that those 3 pistons turned on the lights. Having 6 pistons to do a simple job seemed silly so I created one piston to do the work of those 6. First off, if anyone sees an issue with the piston please let me know. The main question I have is, when you use “Set Color” and you select (preset) and random, that random color name, can that be tied to a variable so that I can send a push message ( {$random} lights turned on at {$now}…) like I have in the piston?
I have in the past tried using $randomcolorname although the color name never matched the color of the lights for me.
I messed up on the first installation so now I 2 smart app. How do I delete one? When I clicked on the non working app to delete it, this pop up.
Yeah, set a variable to $randomColorName, then use that variable to set the color AND send the notification.
Delete it from the IDE > Locations > Installed smartapps > Edit > Uninstall (on the app you want to uninstall)
