Arrival Light Control


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I want a light to come on when I arrive home.

2) What is the expected behavior?
Light comes on and stays on for 4 minutes then goes off.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Haven’t tested yet, may be ok. I was wondering if the off part will work ok in this manner.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

The ‘changes’ is resetting to false 10 seconds after the sensor arrived… this cancels the wait so the second part of your piston never completes.

Use Any of X, Y presence IS present

Alternatively, click on the ‘wait’, expand the settings and set it to ‘never cancel’

I clicked on the wait, expanded the settings but the only thing it brings up is a comment field.

I can change the presence to IS, but I don’t want it to come on if the second part of the if goes true and the presence is already set. I only want it to come on if the presence comes on and the switch 11, which is a night time, is already on.

Hope that made sense.

I think I figured it out. I have to click on the with, not the wait.


#5

Sorry, I meant click on the ‘with’… then click the click the cog symbol.

To prevent an IF from firing a piston on it’s own… click on that IF, cog symbol and tell it to never subscribe.

@Jwwhite, would you be so kind as to post the corrected Piston, so I can see the and understand the differences? (Sorry, i’m very new to WebCoRE, just joined today)
