Hello, I have had ST and Webcore now for about a year and a half. I run very basic home automation, lights on dusk to dawn, a couple fans that come on when stereo comes on, etc. I have spent countless hours trying to google and search on automation and I’ve done okay but nothing mind shattering. What I would like to know is where do you find the arriving to or leaving from when creating a piston. I’ve seen plenty of threads where they show it but mine don’t have those choices. I’ve got Webcore presence sensor that I can see on Web core, and I even down loaded Life360 because sometimes ST position updates are lacking.
But here is what I am looking for, when I got to work, I have a bedroom light that I turn on before I leave to get ready, and quite frequently I forget to turn it off, so at work I manually turn it off. I would like to setup a piston that recognizes that either my phone, my webcore presence sensor or my life360 position sensor is at work, so I want the light shut off. I want this based on me arriving at work, not when Russ’s phone is away because that’s based on I’m away from home which I might be at the store and coming right back so that’s not the same thing. For the life of me I thought your Geofence sensor being ST, Life360 or whatever could enable you to do things away from the hub but I don’t see how to base those events on a predetermined location outside of Home. I do have a location setup as Work, but again I can’t see in Webcore how you make pistons happen based on a secondary location or maybe you can’t? For that matter I’d like my heat in my house to come on when I’m leaving work so when I get home it will be just right, as it is right now, the moment I walk in the door, my heat kicks on so the house is cold, again, another instance where basing a piston on another location. My phone location and all that stuff is on, it’s sometime I’m not setting up or doing in ST I reckon.
Appreciate any tips…
On an additional side note, I read the new ST app update is going to be rolling out to all of us before long, which I hate the new app, will Groovy still work, because isn’t that what Webcore is?
Thankyou
