Determining Presence when using Second Place

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am not able to determine presence when I am using my second place. I can tell when I first get there as currentplace changes. Presence does not change at the second place. It stays “Not Present”. I have tested “Arriving at Place” & “Leaving Place”, with options Changes to, Changes Away From, Is, Was, etc. Nothing works.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
I want to know my presence at a second Place once I have established it as my currentplace. What test will work to determine presence at a second Place once I am there?

3) What is happening/not happening?
Nothing is happening in my tests once the second location is my currentplace.

Are arrivingatplace and leavingplace triggers or conditions? They are listed separately in WC when constructing the if statement, you should also see a lightning bolt symbol next to them in the piston if they will trigger the piston.

I am pretty new to webcore, so I am not sure I follow what you are asking. The Status does show active and humming properly. For previous pistons, this area has told me if the piston will never be run, so I think the logic is ok.

He is talking about the lightning bolt to the left of your IF statement. The lightning bolt signifies a trigger for the piston. Did you just cut that part off from the piston photo you posted?

Thank you. Both if statements have lightning bolts.

I dont this the “is” is a trigger. If there are no other triggers in a pistons WC will try to use an if statement as a trigger. I’m not sure how/if that works.

If you look at pantheons piston it uses “changes” which is a trigger. Can you place an if around your existing ifs to trigger ie.
if dans phone’s location changes
if …
end-if
if …
end-if
end-if

Paul, thank you for the response. I did set up a piston with a trigger for location changing. The problem I ran into was to determine if I was arrinving or leaving. Since Presence does not change on a second place, I dropped that approach and have been trying this one. With more testing, I do have the leavingplace section working now. I get the message my phone has left. I need to determine how to test for arrival at a second place correctly once I have established this location as the currentplace.

Have a look at this piston, written by one of the WC gurus, it works with the built in webcore precedes sensor.
Sorry I can’t paste an image, the ipad wont allow it for some reason, but if you create a piston using this backup code, you’ll get the piston “4nt34”

You can get yourself some good exercise testing location pistons!
