Device variable for trigger conditions

[Snowyogi]

1) Give a description of the problem

I have created a general routine for motion sensors and lights. I would like to use device variables for trigger conditions so that I could copy a routine with minimal editing. I tried using expressions with device variables. When I started I had a condition that looked like

If (Breezeway’s switch physically changes to on) then
to
If ([switch : switch] changes to ‘on’) then

2) What is the expected behavior?

Device variables should work with conditions.

3) What is happening/not happening?

When I save my piston, it tells me I have no triggers even though the orange trigger symbol shows up in the left column. With logging to full, when I turn on the switch, there is no trigger.

I don’t believe webcore will let you trigger off an expression so if your objective is to set off the piston from a device variable then you’d probably have to go through the gui method which still gives you the flexibility of just editing the device in the variable section.
