Basic Switch timer

#1

I’m not able to trigger an Aeon switch via a Piston

I am able to manually turn on/off the light in ST, and the switch is available for selection in the Piston builder tool.

I’ve tried to build a Piston to turn the light on at a specific time, and the light does not go on. Looking at the Device Events in ST, there is no listing of the Piston communicating with the Aeon switch.

When you manually turn it on/off in ST, what does the IDE log say?

#3

I’m not sure what the IDE log is. Here’s a screen shot of the device log in ST?

What type of switch is the switch you’re trying to set to on? Is it a smart light bulb or an outlet adapter?

The log you just posted appears to be for a contact sensor, like on a door or window.

This is for a switch adapter. Micro Switch G2, DSC26103-ZWUS, by Aeotec

When you log in to the IDE, go to Live Logging tab and then try to control your device. See if you can capture some of the logged data.

Hi eibyer,

Note, I was able to turn the switch on and off from my smartphone while on a cellular connection.

Thanks for your help!

Which device is it in the log? It doesn’t look like there’s any on/off event in that log.

#9

I’m going to turn off all Pistons to isolate the logs.

This might be where your issue is coming from. If there’s no on/off going on in the log, webcore is not going to see it. I have no experience with the switch you’re using but I’ll do a search and see if anyone is using it successfully with webcore. It might be the device handler that needs to be changed.

After turning off all Pistons, then turning the switch on and off several times from my smartphone, the logs are empty.

Here’s the event logs for the switch.

I would suggest going into the main ST forum and checking to see what other device handler you can use in place of Z-Wave Switch Generic.

I think that helped me resolve it. I removed the switch in my ST phone app, then re-added it. It now works. Thanks.
