Piston stopped with "does not subscribe to any events" message

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Hi all, I’m SUPER green with WebCore, but really think its great. With that said, I made the piston below to automatically disarm smart home monitor every morning. I ran fine for a week or so, now it does not and I get a “does not subscribe to any events” message.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
If smart home monitor status is Armed/Stay , at 6:45am set smart home monitor to off

3) What is happening/not happening?
ran fine for a few days, now no longer running but showing “This piston does not subscribe to any events. Unless executed by other means, it will never run on its own.”

Your first “trigger” is not a trigger.

Move the “Time” trigger to line 18, so that it’s the first trigger.

“Something is something” is not a trigger. Time is a trigger.

The second half, the THEN, also needs to be reworked.

As I do not have SHM, I’m not sure how it works, but there should be a “WITH” in there somewhere.

THEN
-WITH
–something
-DO
–Wait 5 seconds
–Change status to OFF
End IF

The second IF also has no Trigger. “Something is Something” is not a trigger. “Something becomes Something” is a trigger.

The “is” could be used there if the second half of the piston was reworked.

Again, I could be wrong, as I do not have SHM.

This is helpful thanks. I really do struggle with programming logic.

A little more context for what I’m trying to accomplish here.

-In the first half, I’m trying to disarm SHM at 6:45am daily as long as its in the “Armed/Stay” mode.

-The second section is aiming to check if SHM was successfully switched to the disarmed mode, then push a notification informing that change has been made.

Thanks again for the help.

I would split the second IF into it’s own piston.

IF
-SHM status changes to disarm
THEN
-WITH
–SHM
-Wait 5 seconds
-Send notification
-End With
End IF

Again, I don’t have SHM, so I don’t know how it is referenced as a device. The “SHM” in the above WITH statement should be some device.
