How to access the Gentle Wakeup "controller" switch from webCoRE

#1

The Gentle Wake Up SmartApp from ST adds a “controller” called Gentle Wake Up to the list of Things, which acts like a switch there. You can then tap on it in the list of Things to turn on this “thing”, which triggers Gentle Wake Up to start its dimming routine.

However I can’t figure out how to expose this controller / switch to webCoRE. Normally I would go to webCoRE settings and select Available Devices and Contacts and then I expect to find it in Available Devices (actuators or sensors). However it doesn’t show up in any of them. How can I expose this so that I can write my own Piston logic to trigger this “switch” to turn on when conditions are right?

try under switches or timers in webcore settings, probably one of those two.

#3

It’s under switches.

Thanks guys! Yes I found it under there, thanks to your guidance. To date all my devices shows up in the Actuators or Sensors list. I looked through the other choices, but not closely enough apparently. :embarrassed:

BTW, it would be terrific if there was a default option I could set so that ALL devices/switches/stuff was automatically exposed to webCoRE, so that I don’t have to individually select new devices/things as they are added to ST. Is there any way to set that up once so I don’t have to mess with it again?

sure thing.

post a feature suggestion for @ady624 here:

Unfortunately that particular ST API is not available for private developers… it has only ever been made available to Amazon Alexa :frowning:

Why use gentle wake up?

webCoRE has fade to level actions that can do exactly the same…

I didn’t see it. Could you perhaps upload a simple piston that has the Fade option in it, or explain where to find it? I only saw LIFX xyz options none of which were Fade. Also I assume they can fade UP, as in go from 0 to 100% over x minutes. Thanks!

@Robin Can you please point me to the Fade To Level action in webCoRE (or upload a dummy or basic piston that demonstrates)? I cannot seem to find it.

Edit: Never mind please - I was able to track down a previous example piston you posted. Thanks!
