EDIT: deprecated. see this instead:

Holiday Lights: 4th of July / Diwali / Halloween / Christmas - Your Pick

UPDATE: new single piston version with support for pausing lights and sound. you can also use this with only lights and no sound. to disable sound set soundEnabled flag to false and save the piston. if flag is false the soundSpeaker device variable can be left empty. to pause the light and sound this uses a global variable called @pauseHLCRaFp please create this global boolean variable and set it to false before restoring this piston. once this piston is running, from another piston set this va…

Question. Is there a functional difference between Turn on and Turn all on? Quite honestly I never noticed the Turn all on before.

[bangali]

looks like it may be harmony supported command which for others devices might just be mapping to turn on.

Can someone recommend some lights?

[borristhecat]

hi @bangali i would like to use this but wanted to but some conditions in would this work?
i need it to pause the other piston otherwise it will keep changing the lights

[bangali]

move the pause/resume to another piston and just pause or resume the example piston that is this piston from that other piston at the right times.

[borristhecat]

Do it manually you mean?

[bangali]

nope.

create and save this piston as is by restoring it from code d0fjo wtih say name foo.

then create another piston called bar. in bar you would have logic to enable and disable piston foo at the right times of day for different times of year.

does that make sense? if i wasnt able to clarify that, please ping and i will share an example piston.

also, thinking of making the colors dynamic in the example piston above so foo can be called with different colors for different holidays by bar.

Think so thanks.

That’s a great idea
