Can Webcore control devices across ST locations?

I have a Powerbot R7040 Vacuum that created a new location in ST with itself as the only device. I can’t for the life of me get it added to my normal location. I’m done messing with it, but it would be nice to still control based on triggers in my normal SmartThings location. Can webcore trigger actions across a location if I have an instance installed in both?

You can definitely have the two instances communicate via external piston execution - passing variables while at it - Look at the External execution link in the new location and use that in the main location with a Make Web Request task. You can pass variables to that task which can then be read in the executed piston via $args

what method and content type?

POST/JSON is recommended though FORM should work too.

If you load up instances for webcore for each location, in mobile webcore app, you can execute pistons from one location to another and pass the variables via $args too. I haven’t got the gist of json and web requests yet.

Oops like @ady624 said…
