All this looks great but I’m struggling getting it set up. I don’t have the Enable GitHub Integration button My SmartApps so I’ve been trying to set up GitHub but it seems complicated. I’ve got myself a bit lost.
You don’t need github to download the app.
Go to github and copy the code.
Log on to your ide and go to my smartapps.
Click on new smartapp, zelect from code and paste in the code.
Click on create and then save, publish, for me.

Thank you. Got it now. I just hadn’t found the code and thought I had to do more.
When you first access CoRE you go into Marketplace, SmartApps, My Apps the click on CoRE.
Once you have done this, on all subsequent occasions you MUST access it via Automations- SmartApps. If you don’t you will have issues.
EDIT. @Itsmeyouknow If you wish to see the dashboard you must enable OAuth in the settings for the SmartApp.

I spent the evening annoying my wife by turning a light on and off with the temperature sensor in the motion sensor. Thank you @mcdermott.st and @bobbles
Is there any other way to program CoRE other than the Smartthings App?
Action Tiles? Can you explain what these are? I’m learning new stuff every day.
Not that I am aware of, but you can view your pistons via a browser
ActionTiles allows you to create a dashboard/panel to view and control your devices
It’s currently on limited rollout.
Just FYI, here is my main dashboard, and I used it in conjunction with a CoRE piston and variables to ensure the heating turns off after X mins when manually turned on.

I’m afraid CoRE is limited to the Smartthings app.
But all is not lost
WebCoRE is currently being developed and can be accessed via mobile devices or your pc.
It is in its early stages of development but does work.
Search for webcore (se) and you should find the thread.
EDIT. [DEPRECATED THREAD] webCoRE design process

If you can take a picture of the wiring that would be appreciated - I’m thinking of perhaps doing similar. It would certainly help me having to fork out paying for huge numbers of Z Wave TRV’s like the EvoHome system.
This way I’d just set them to a comfortable temperature and use the relays to turn it either on or off based on the outside temperature.
np, I’ll do that when I get home tonight.
Hilly, I did try to do this, but it is a spaghetti junction of wires, that I don’t really think would help much, here’s fibaro’s guide, I hope that helps.

I have now got my relay working and figured out virtual switches and buttons. I’m still trying to figure out CoRE. I’m trying to make a heating boost button that will turn the heating on for an hour but I can’t work out how to put a timer in.
Can someone give me a pointer please?
I notice @mcdermott.st has “Heating - Underfloor switch stays on for 60 minutes”. How does that work?
Try handling it as light. Set up a virtual momentary switch, and, using the Smart Lighting app, turn the relay on with the virtual switch and set the app to turn off an hour later.
I found the Smartthings : Power Allowance App which works perfectly for this, but I’d still like to know how to get a timer in CoRE.
Here you go, I suggest also using a variable to make sure it does not interrupt your schedules
There is an timer built into that statement, you should be able to find that option quite easily in CoRE, the issue I had was trying to combine too many things in one piston, I concluded that these timers needed be pistons in the own right.
Thank you. It turns out I just wasn’t looking hard enough. The “Stays” option is near the bottom of the list.
Cheers
