Yeah, I’ve tried. It says it’s full.
[Install Instructions] webCoRE Presence Sensor on your Android (beta)
@ady624 @flyize Is WebCoRE presence sesnor/app working at all right now, or just concerns about battery?
It used to work for me but stopped at some point past few months. I just went into the settings and the green plus sign was there so I added a new sensor for me, but it didn’t show in ST app or ST IDE device list, I tries clearing cache and killing both the ST and webcore apps. Still no new presence sensor, and the green plus is gone in webcore settings.
@flyize - The android app needs to be revised to address certain changes in Oreo, and unless and until that happens, it’s not worth the trouble. Disappointing, because it was working so well for me with minimum battery usage in Nougat.
15 posts were split to a new topic: Tasker Battery Drain (posts moved from WC presence thread by admin)
This doesnt seem to work anymore. No matter what I try, I cannot add a new device for as a presence sensor… Must be updates tot he S8. Oh well. Was nice while it worked.
guys just for your info, after the first time i installed the sensor according the instructions on the post i ddint show anything; so yes, you need to clear cache and data for the webcore app and re install the presence sensor and after that it will be fixed
Is this thread is dead b/c everyone has the Android presence sensor working? or has it moved somewhere else…? I just don’t have it working but strangely enough I did get a update today at 8:09am.
Mines working fine sometimes it stops and I have to re open the app but other than that it works great
I’m with @infofiend, the update to Oreo effectively killed the app and there’s been no overt effort to make the changes necessary to get it working again. So for now I’ve had to uninstall it. It’s unfortunate (if perhaps somewhat understandable) that since ST kidnapped @ady624 that development on all things webCoRE have slowed dramatically and in some instances appears to have stopped altogether. I had actually hoped the opposite would be true because his work is amazing. Thankfully, we have many dedicated minions moving webCoRE forward wherever they can.
Yeah, Tasker works about 98% of the time. I highly recommend it if you’re running Oreo or above.
@jsducote
John, I came across your post today and this is exactly what I am looking for. Any advice or guide on how to do this? I have never used ifttt. Thanks!
V/R,
Frank
It’s fairly straightforward. Log into the API and create a virtual switch under devices. Go to the app: automation > smartapps > webcore > settings > available device and contacts > available devices. Add your new virtual switch under switches. Then go to automation > smartapps > IFTTT and add the virtual switch allowing IFTTT to control it. In the IFTTT app, create a new applet ‘If connects to (name of your wifi) then switch on your virtual switch’. Create a second, ‘if disconnects from (name of your wifi) then switch off your virtual switch.’
Now you can write almost anything you can imagine in a webcore piston to do something when the virtual switch changes to on or off. Mine unlocks the door from the garage to the kitchen (alarm must be manually disarmed, don’t worry) and turns on the kitchen lights. If it’s later than 30 minutes to sunset, other lights are turned on as well.
