1) Give a description of the problem
Using the Capture attributes and the Restore attributes is not working. Lights turn on just fine, but when restoring, nothing happens. Lights do not return to state of capture.
2) What is the expected behavior?
Lights to return to the state of capture.
3) What is happening/not happening?
Lights do not return to the state of capture.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]
Can anyone see anything wrong with the above?
Thank you
Ok, I understand the screen print changing names of the bulbs.
I understand “RGB Bulb”…
I don’t understand the “White Bulb” and “Dimmer”, because they are the exact same bulbs. They are all Sengled Element Classic bulbs.
So, why the different names?
Thank you
Thank you, I don’t know how I missed that.
But… even after adding level and switch, the lights did not return to previous state. They all stayed on.

I don’t know if it matters but your local state has an @ sign used for global variables, try it without.
Still no change…

Are they all rgb bulbs? Try it with a dumbed down version using one or two bulbs for now then capture the H, S, and L values.
There are 3 RGB bulbs in the list; 1 is a daylight/soft white; and the rest are exactly the same (same make and model).
I will create a test using just a few of the ones that are exactly the same. Then I’ll add an RGB, and see what happens. Then I’ll add the daylight/soft white light, and see what happens.
Thank you, again!
Here is more detail about the bulbs I have:
3 Lights:
Sengled Element Multicolor (RGBW, 2700K to 6500K, Dim)
1 Light:
Sengled Element Plus (2700K to 6500K, Dim)
The rest:
Sengled Element Classic (2700K, Dim)
I tested with just 2 of the “Sengled Element Classic (2700K, Dim)” bulbs.
Same results. Lights come on, but do not return to Captured State.
I tested with just 1 of the “Sengled Element Multicolor (RGBW, 2700K to 6500K, Dim)” and added Hue to the capture.
Light came one, but instead of returning to Capture State, it changed the bulb to Daylight, where it was previously Soft White and Off.
Should there be a symbol in front of the Variable Name? Like # or $
You said @ was for global…is there one for local?
***** I’ve reached the maximum number of replies a user can have on their first day ??? *****
I think this is counting from first post, not first day… I joined Friday night…today is Sunday…
Cannot post yet… I hope you see this…
I changed this from 2 pistons (one for ON, one for OFF) to 1 piston with 2 IFs, as in your example.
This fixed the issue!!!
Thank you so much!!
Does this mean that the Capture and Restore must be in the same piston?
Regarding the variable names, in capture/restore, names are optional but for other uses within webcore, global variables have @ prefix, system variables have $ and locals have none.
Edit: See if you can post now.

Thank you so much!!

Yes, if the restore variable is local. For a two piston setup then you’d have to store in global.
