No lightning bolt with trigger?


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am using a trigger to initiate a piston but no lightning bolt is showing up as expected

2) What is the expected behaviour?
My piston is supposed to turn off my whole house fan once inside temp minus outside temp drops to less than or equal to 4

3) What is happening/not happening?
Webcore states, “This piston does not subscribe to any events. Unless executed by other means, it will never run on its own.” I thought that triggers (not conditions) should initiate a piston. I have used the trigger “drops to or below” so I thought it should have a lightning bolt but does not.

**4) Post a *Green Snapshot

I don’t think webCoRE can trigger off an expression. You will probably need to use the device temperature change to perform the evaluation of temp difference.

Something like:

If any of Inside or Outside temperature changes
  Evaluation goes here...
