Disarming Front Door Sensor


#1

Hi folks,

I’m New here and new to the whole Smartthings and Web Core thing. I’m also not a computer wizard!
I am trying to create a Piston that alerts me to an intruder alert while I’m in bed and smartthings is set in Night Mode with the alarm set to Active/Home. I have Night Mode start at around 23:00 and finish at 05:45.

I’m trying to get the piston to send a push and turn on my bedside lamp setting the colour to Red.

I’ve managed to create that Piston - I’ll add some images once I figure out how to!

What I did not take into consideration was my wife and I work shifts and we work different shifts. This means that we come home at odd times of the night. My wife is the worst culprit as her shifts are all over the place, but mine also often finish at 3am. What I don’t want is a Push and the bedside lights coming on when we get home waking the other person up!

I think that what I need is to somehow disable the front door sensor for a period of time when one of the presence sensors arrive in the geofenced area.

I’d like to do this in one piston. I’ve managed to do it, I think (I’m waiting for the wife to come home as I type) using the orginal piston I wrote and a new one turning off the alarm for 10 mins when the presence sensor changes to ‘present’.

How do I combine the two pistons (If it works) and in what order?


Thanks,

Rich

I just noticed I messed up the wait command - I’ve sorted that in my original Piston.
