Nest Protect With Ecobee Possible? or what options?

No one has offered what exactly we are talking about. Core is a community developed rules engine for SmartThings. You install it like a SmartApp in the IDE interface of SmartThings. Once you do so your world of automation will open considerably compared to the out of box functionality of the base SmartThings. A start up guide can be found in this thread:

CoRE for Dummies (How to get started and make your first Piston)

I have followed the instructions to install CoRE and it is installed and in my smart apps tab. My problem is that when I try to create a piston, a spinning wheel pops up momentarily and then goes away. Nothing happens then. If I leave the app and go back in, there is a blank line with an arrow over the piston line. The same thing happens if I click either one of them…spinning wheel then nothing. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be going on?
