Not activating LIFX scenes

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I have a piston for the bathroom that should activate 1 of 2 Lifx scenes. It seems to turn on the Lifx lights but defaults to the last scene it was on rather than the correct scene.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
When I close, the door, the lights turn on and based on the time of day, should activate either bright (daytime) or night (nighttime).
3) What is happening/not happening?
The lights turn on to the last state they were in. Not either scene.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston! https://dashboard.webcore.co/piston/:08c635468ba30229ae5f3411c44bb6d5:

5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full

Can you attach an image of your piston instead of the link which no one has access to?

Sorry, not sure what I am doing with the pic upload but I think I got it this time.

I don’t use Lifx actually I don’t use anyting but WebCore.
What you want above is very simple to accomplish in Webcore.
A draft would be:

IF contact sensor changes to OPEN
       IF Time is between X and Y (IF block within IF block)
       Then do this do that with the light bulbs.
       IF time is between A and B
       Then do this do that with the light bulbs.

IF contact sensor changes to CLOSE
      Do this do that.

I am using webcore. It’s not activating the correct scene in the webcore code (see attached pic of the code). Lifex is a smart light brand.

Thanks, Lisa

Let me try to understand your piston…
What is line 26 is doing?
What is it activating?
And also line 38?

#8

I wonder if the turn on is needed when activating a lifx scene. If it is needed, try adding a Wait 1 second between the turn on and activate scene.
