What’s the webcore-storage.groovy file on GitHub for? It shows as new?  
@ady624 ?

An additional kind-of-optional app that speeds up execution. It’s not optional, really 😉

Soooo… what needs to happen to make it work? Just load them or what??

Add the two more apps please, that’s all you need to do, there were some instructions about upgrading to v0.1.0a4 - you will need to pause and resume all pistons if you haven’t already

So I switched browsers to crome and have not been able to register my browser. I went back to my other browser and my pistons are all there.

Anyway to register with multiple browsers on one devise?

So I understand, I loaded the two new apps. I’ve not built any pistons in webCoRE yet, so I assume there’s nothing else I need to do? As in, nothing to pause…

All my pistons are still running in CoRE…I haven’t had time to screw with webCoRE yet.

When I do get around to writing webCoRE pistons, these new apps should take over…yes?

They will run in parallel until you pause the one in CoRE.

That part I understand, the question was in reference to the two new apps @ady624 added to ‘speed up the system’.

You have nothing to pause so that is fine, do not pause anything.

The install was rather easy. However, I thought finding the installation instructions was more difficult than the installation itself. A quick google search brings you to this feedback page. It would have helped to have a link to the instructions in this post.

FYI - I’m new to GitHub and custom SmartApps for ST.

So when I click on Smart App to add WebCore it just spins and doesn’t take me Next. When I go back and check my repository, doesn’t look like OAuth is applied. When I try to apply it I get denied. Any ideas?

Hi.

I just discovered this app today but I am having an issue trying to install webCoRE.

I have installed the 4 packages from github(webCoRE first, then the next 3). They show up in the SmartApps page as published.

When trying to OAUTH, I get this error:  
Access Denied  
We’re sorry, but you are not authorized to perform the requested operation.

I have logged out and back into SmartThings. I have deleted the 4 files and reinstalled them. I have tried Chrome and Firefox but still no luck.

Anybody have any other ideas on what to try?

Thanks.

Check if it’s a shard issue.

SmartThings automatically replicates a lot of stuff between the shards when they deploy updates and so on, but if you are doing development and you Publish “For Me”, then you need to be sure to be logged into the correct shard, or your self-published SmartApp or custom Device Type Handler will not work. You won’t find it in the mobile App! Eventually you may not need to know your shard. Eventually, SmartThings may make this process automatic and when you self-publish, it will go to the “right” shard without intervention.

I logged in from another computer and OAUTH now worked fine.

Not sure what changed but all seems good now.

Thanks.

Ok, well this morning , Auth worked. Now I seem to have 8 instances of WebCore in my smart apps. How do I delete the others?

Ok, looks like I had to set my password on each instance. Once that was done I was able to access setting and remove each instance one by one.

This is getting really frustrating. I’m following every step in [https://wiki.webcore.co/](https://wiki.webcore.co/) however I am coming to a dead end when it comes to installing the SmartApp in the mobile app.

In the [https://wiki.webcore.co/GitHub\_Install](https://wiki.webcore.co/GitHub_Install) step I make sure to install one at a time. Followed by the OAuth of wecCoRE. I follow the steps exactly as they are written.

Any ideas on what could possibly going wrong? I am new to the CoRE scene, as I just got the CoRE setup in the mobile app, just looking to expand to the webCoRE.

What is the “dead end”? We can’t help unless you tell us what the symptom is, and “dead end” doesn’t quite explain it well 😃 I am going to go on a limb here and assume you can’t find the app in the My Apps section of the ST app, so I’ll ask, did you make sure to tick the “Publish” checkbox while importing the apps? If not, you can open each one of the four and click on the Publish \> For Me up top.

Yes sorry. Like I had stated. I had followed everything to the T per the wiki instructions. I ended up reaching out to a smartthings Facebook group. Apparently I was logging into the wrong shard?

Regardless, I got it all setup after realizing I was in the wrong IDE. Thank you anyways. I can’t believe it was the simple.
