Flood Lights off after so many minutes


#1

I have two Osram Outdoor LED Flood Lights that I turn on manually from the ST App. Is there a way Webcore can make them always turn back off after so many minutes?


#2

There sure is.
IF
Any of Osram light is on.
THEN
Wait 15 minutes.
Turn Off.

Are you happy with webCoRE or do you want a piston to import.

Thanks. I’m a newbie. Webcore seems to be awesome so far.


#4

Do you need some guidance or are you happy to experiment.


#5

Guidance would be great! Tinkered with it last night but didn’t work

You can import this using the code.
Select add a piston and then import using backup code. (Second from bottom).
When it opens just put in your devices.

Fixed that for ya

Absolutely! Works great!

Question - in the event that the light(s) are turned off (either manually or by another process), will the piston self-cancel itself since the trigger condition is no longer true?

In the settings for the piston there is an option called command optimisation.
If the light is on the piston will start to run.
If the light is turned off manually then (I believe) the scheduled event to turn the light off will mature but as the light is off, the off command will not be sent.
If command optimisation is off then the scheduled command will run regardless of the light state.
