I don’t know why I can’t get this to work. It seems so simple but I have tried everything. Here is what is happening…I have a radio station that plays for the dogs when we are not home but I want a playlist to play once someone gets home. It doesn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody have any suggestions for this?

[WCmore]

The log shows that one of the two conditions were false.
But I cannot tell which one because you have your Trace turned off.

You can turn it on up top, and then send a new green snapshot.

[pcgirl65]

It will be false right now because nobody is Home and our house is in Away status. This is what I can’t figure out. It should just work when the Location Mode changes to Home.

[WCmore]

I do not structure my pistons the way you did, so I don’t have a good explanation, but this should work as intended:

Coming home is the trigger, and the time is acting as a condition.

[pcgirl65]

Ah! OK, I see what you mean. I will change this and let you know if it worked. Thanks!

[Ryan780]

Why do you have async turned on? You only have one action so that is unnecessary. I think that if you removed that it would work.

[pcgirl65]

I added async because it wasn’t working. I thought that it might help it to work, but it didn’t.

[WCmore]

Did import code “jht2” work for you?

[Ryan780]

You don’t have to have the 2 separate ifs. They can go in the same statement.
IF
Location mode changes to Home
AND
Time is between x and y
THEN
DO z.

[WCmore]

You just posted the exact piston that was not working for her…

[Ryan780]

Because of the asyn…i have almost the exact same piston and it works fine. You don’t need two separate ifs.

[pcgirl65]

@WCmore this didn’t work. Here are the logs and the piston. I can’t figure out why this won’t work.

[WCmore]

Please repost the pic with Trace turned on so I can see the numbers in grey.

Thanks

[pcgirl65]

Just hold on. It might be an issue with the GET request. I am just going to test this.

[WCmore]

It looks like your log shows every statement evaluating as true, so I agree with you. Testing the web address in a regular browser sounds like the next step.

You can also search here for Sonos Playlist to see some pistons that others have created.

[Ryan780]

You could also make the action something simple, like turning on a light for example, just for testing.

[pcgirl65]

It worked today! I think once I changed the piston to @WCmore piston and then corrected the GET problem it works! Thanks for the help!

[Alan_Lambert]

what does this part actually do? I understand the URL has been masked.

[pcgirl65]

This is the GET request to my sonos speakers using Node server. I use this because you can set presets and group speakers. It looks like this https://IP address:5005/preset/Jane.
