Hi , I’m new to ST and I don’t have a lot of experience but I started building some routine and trying to get my security logic in St but it seems it’s limited with what St can do . I know about Webcore and till now didn’t want to use it as I think also about maintenance and spreading the routines…

[image] zvika77: how did you divided the logic/routines between St and Webcore to get the best of 2 worlds but still easy to maintain and debug. Like you, I had to learn ST and webcore from the ground up. For me, that integration has been a steady, fun, somewhat slow climb in understanding an…

I would not use a phone presence to disarm security, but I have no issue using the Smartthings arrival sensor to accomplish this. It is not detected until you are well within sight of your home, typically 75 meters or less. And one of my Webcore pistons utilizes the keypad of my Schlage lock to disa…

Agreed. I also use my Schlage keypad lock and a piston as one method to disarm my system.

Thanks for the replies . I really wanted to use one place for my logic but ST couldn’t do the things that I wanted . It’s really not complicated I wanted to use roller shutter status as part of my Smart home monitor . Currently I didn’t see any way to add roller shutters to be part of the smart …

Add the contact sensor capability to the roller shutter DH. In the DH, set contact sensor state to open/close whenever the roller shade state changes to open/close. The roller shutter can then be added to SHM as a contact sensor. A solution using webcore would be to create a virtual switch that is …

You are correct that having things coded in more than one place can be confusing. I find that I occasionally have to look around to see how I’ve implemented something. I use webCore a lot, but remember that it is cloud based, not local. So some things may not run as quickly as with local executio…

@Bry I agree. For those reasons, I have considered migrating to Hubitat. But I really have not evaluated that system yet. However, I have not noticed much lag and I am very happy with my ST/webcore systems at this time.

@philh30 That is a great Idea ! I’m using your DH for fibaro fgr-223 . Will you be able to add this compatibility ? Maybe It will also solve my issue with Action Tiles that is showing my Roller shutters as Switches and not and not as windows shades so it will be on all time except it get 0% then …

I’ll take a look at it - probably this weekend.
