Doors Sensors Option in Automation "When Things Quiet Down"?

[Bripabz (bripabz@gmail.com)]

Question. I would like to have ST automatically perform to have certain hue lights turn on to 100% when certain doors open and then have the lights dim back down (to like 30%) after those door(s) closes.

I would like this to only happen between certain times (like between sunset and sunrise), kind of like how you can choose the time in when “Things Quiet Down”… unfortunately it seems like you can only select motion sensors in that option and not door sensors…

Is there a way to add the door sensors as an option in that area or can the developers add that option?

So for example I would like this: Say at 10:00pm “Door 1” opens, “Light 1” brightens to “100%”… then after “Door 1” closes and has stayed closed for “60 minutes” dim “Light 1” to “30%”… and so forth…

“When things quiet down” depends on the sensor sending an inactivity report, which motion sensors do and open/close sensors don’t.

You can do just what you describe, and much more, with core.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…
