Hi Folks,
Just installed Webcore (used Core before) and I can’t create a piston.
The screen on the webpage let’s me initiate a name, etc…but once I try to get to the editor, I just get spinning boxes on the lower right hand corner. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but don’t know what.
Hi, yes…I Oauth’d the WebCoRE first. I just Oauth’d the WebCoRE piston as well, but I’m guessing that didn’t help…
You only need to oauth the top download (webCoRE).
Have you configured webCoRE in the ST app on your phone/tablet.
You need to set your devices, password etc. there first.
Yes, devices set, p/w, etc…It could see all my devices. Yes, I published everything. I still have Core installed, I don’t know if that would interfere. I even checked another browser type to make sure that wasn’t the issue. I can properly get into the application via browser, just can’t get to the editor…it shows “paused” pistons on the main page and I can’t edit or delete them…
I’m sure someone has reported this before but I cannot for the life of me remember the solution.
Sorry @ady624 but have you any ideas that could help this new user to the fold. Thanks.
Might be worth a try.
Just make sure you download and publish all 4 elements before you configure in the ST app.
Good Luck.
Check the wiki page for troubleshooting.
Reset your location in the ST app. Move it around, save, move it back. Save. Try again.
If that does not work then open ST IDE live logging in another tab when trying to create a piston.
Look in the console tab of the webcore dashboard browser for errors as well (F12 on chrome)
It could very well be the location not being set. I’ve just released an update that checks for location/timezone during setup and guides the user towards how to fix it. I’m yet to implement fixes throughout where if no timezone is present, show an error but at least keep going… working on that.
Location was the issue, thanks to everyone for the QUICK response…I’m glad I have a clean install and now I can get more lost 
Ady624, I noticed you have an update now that you are working on, including email notifications. Should I just hold off until you have done working on that, as I really would love to have email notifications based on certain events (water detected trigger, etc.) I tried the contact list when I was using Core and was unsuccessful in getting an email to populate for notification (text message and app. notification, no problem…) Thanks again!
I published an update that addresses your case - where location/timezone causes errors - it prevents a user from installing webCoRE without having setup the location first, it tries to ensure pistons don’t crash because of that (though timezone diff will be set to 0h instead of the real one) and errors will pop at every piston run instructing the user to setup location timezone - it’s better to give clues than just crash…
Email notifications have been there for a while. I am not currently working on them, they’re done.
My version of webCoRE has an engine block called cast iron. When I click on that, it says under construction, but it discusses upgrading the engine block to get access to extra features such as email triggers. This is exactly what I want. I tried to use Core and the address book technique and ended up destroying my whole setup It worked out for the best, because now I get to use your software. I apologize if this has been addressed, but would you mind pointing me to using email notifications without having to deal with address books, etc?
Thnx!
Cast iron is future. Once you have everything installed and your devices added into webcore and you registered a browser. You will do everything from dashboard.webcore.co
One of the actions under location is send email. So without knowing more about what/when you want to send. That’s all I can do for now.
Thnx…I’ll take a look. I guess I’m comparing Core and webcoRE and clearly webCoRE is more rebust…
Some features require extra resources, for example sending emails (Google blocks port 25 outbound so sending emails needs to rely on external services. I am using mailgun and currently using about 4800 of the 10000 free emails), storing fuel data in SQL, storing media, etc. those features will eventually become paid and the engine block will change - cast iron is pretty much the free level that allows everything except emails, fuel streams, media storage, and visors. There will also be alluminum alloy and magnesium alloy - not sure what level of service will be there for each. But the iron cast will continue to exist as a free tier giving access to all features except those that require resources outside of the ST cloud. Some free features that do not follow that model exist, like browser registration, and account login (in the works). These will be free regardless.
