comments are always welcome. I think.
Cool,
-
When selecting a time event, I had no time picker. So I donāt know what my formatting should be. Also the $time might not be obvious to some users. Maybe Iām using it wrong too. Maybe each location variable should be masked with a logical term?

I wasnāt able to execute a routine, at least that I saw from the with Location -> Do -> X
Thanks for all of your hard work! Looking good!
Lots of pieces are missing, lots of virtual commands are not there yet.
$time is a string. $now is a datetimeā¦
Yea I figured. Just figured Iād let you know what I bumped into my first go. Thanks for all of this!
I love what I see so far, and look forward to future enhancements. Please post when new features are added. I am especially looking forward to time based triggers and conditions.
Iāve got WebCore installed, and I notice that I now have 2 āwebCoRE Pistonā smart apps. Selecting one of them results in āYou are not authorized to perform the requested operationā. Clicking on āRemoveā does nothing.
The piston app is not used by ppl, but a demanded thing by smartthings to devide things up in two.
So you only use the smart app.
The smart app should be named "webCoRE"
and the Piston should show up inside this one if you did things right.
What Iām seeing in my smart apps, the āWebCoREā app, then below it, two instances of āwebCoRE Pistonā.
Maby just delete them under smartapps under your hub in IDĆ?
I tried, but it tells me that āThis SmartApp canāt be deleted at this time because it is installed by one or more usersā
@ady624 following up on the core design thread where multiple instances is coming up againā¦ do you think webCoRE will have the same issue as CoRE where you need to rebuild pistons every now and then?
I ended up getting SmartThings support via chat. They were able to delete the apps for me. Then reinstalled WebCoRE.
I do not know - the problem is that CoRE was still keeping info in the settings (which allowed the rebuild) - webCoRE does not use settings at all (canāt programmatically change them - the very reason CoRE could not copy pistons) - what it has instead is the backup bin code - however, thatās also stored in the state - so if the state gets screwed up, well, you need to know those codes so that you can revive them. Iāll figure something out where webCoRE can automatically recover if it figures something is wrong - I can use the server to cache the links between piston IDs and their backup bins. Havenāt gotten there yet. And I am yet to hear about a state loss - though that hasnāt happened in a very long time, right?
EDIT: Another way is to make the pistonās ST UI automatically save the backup bin code into settings - IF YOU EVER OPEN IT - you can open a piston from the SmartThings app, under the deviceās SmartApps. Also, you shouldnāt be able to install a piston directly from Automations - try itā¦
Donāt you mean shut down?
LOL No! I might need drawer replacement parts.
No not for webCoRE.
For CoRE, yea it happens at least a couple times a week for me, thought I have over 100 pistons across 15 or so installs.
I do this all the time.
Hi @ady624 I have a bit of an issue with this.
The piston shows up as true when it is not.
The lux level is below the required level but the motion sensor is not active.
When I enter the room, the piston shows as true, but when I leave then it goes false.
The counter goes down to zero and the light turns off.
Then for some reason it shows as true and turns back on again.
Very strange.
EDIT.
This does work though.
