Running a string of data

[Csietsema]

1) Give a description of the problem
I’ve been trying to figure out how to run a string of data. I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I currently have a string of data that represents my smart light attributes that are saved to a global variable (Device name, Switch status, Level, Hue, and Saturation) ((In that order)),

2) What is the expected behavior?
I’m trying to make a piston that will turn my lights on and/or off, and set my lights level, hue, and saturation.

3) What is happening/not happening?
I’ve tried a million different ways and it seems like I have no idea what I’m doing and cannot find any similar examples to help me write this piston

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

)

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
I don’t have any

I can break the variables up in the rooms but all I’m trying to do is just save my Philips hue light seems on to webcore I’ve tried multiple different ways of doing it and I just can’t get it if anyone could please help me I would really appreciate it I’ve spent way too much time doing this it’s extremely frustrating now all I wanted to do is just work and it’s seemed practically impossible

share a green snapshot of the piston. from the define section only its not clear what you are doing and how you doing it.

[bangali]

thanks. tell me a little about how these pistons are triggered and what args are being passed in to each.

also see this:

Replying to poster vs replying to thread

when at the bottom of the thread there are 2 reply buttons. the top reply link replies to the poster who posted that comment and notifies them that there is a response. the bottom blue background reply link replies to the user who created the thread and notifies them that there is a response. [image] i sometimes find responses that are meant for me but since the blue link was used i dont get a notification and see the response only by chance often after days. i am sure this h…

[bangali]

syntactically the following piston will do the same thing as your first piston. i havent reviewed the second piston yet. once i know how these are executed and what is the intended functionality will look at it.

[Csietsema]

Also whit the args. command I am kinda lost on what it even does.

[Csietsema]

Ideally with the first piston I press a shortcut link on my ActionTiles, that then it tells webcore to run the first piston. which is suppose to capture the current light settings (on/off, hue, saturation, and level.).

With the second piston I am trying to run the the captured scene setting from the first piston. I think that the second piston is total overkill I just don’t know how to run the previously saved light settings.

I have tried capture attributes from global store, local store, set hue, set level, set saturation, changing the saved settings to dynamic, variable, string, and ect. I have literally tried everything and have spent about 2 weeks trying to figure this out.

If you know of a way that is way easier than this I’d greatly appreciate it. But all I am trying to do is save my current philips hue light scenes onto webcore so that I can then use them for other pistons. I didn’t think it be would be so hard but I’m totally at a wall.

[Csietsema]

Also I should add I don’t want to use Hue b Smart. I have already tried the smartapp and it took an extremely long time for any lights to do anything whatsoever

[bangali]

so the following is what you want?

1. when piston 1 is run you want to save the light settings of a bunch of lights. these lights could all have different switch, hue, saturation and level settings which need to be saved individually.
2. when piston 2 is run you want to restore the light settings of the same lights to the values as they were when last saved by piston 1.

if the above is not correct … please correct.

[Csietsema]

That is totally what I am trying to do! And it’s been a total nightmare trying to figure it out. haha

[bangali]

ok. i will share something over the weekend.

[bangali]

i remembered something from last time i did something similar … in webcore there is no easy way to distinguish if the light was last set using hue / saturation / level or color temperature / level. so this piston would default to always saving and restoring hue / saturation / level which means these lights would all have to be RGB+ bulbs and their current settings were set using hue / saturation / level.

does that work for you?

[bangali]

give this a try. you will need to make 2 copies of this piston. top half of this piston is the save and the bottom half is the restore. see comments in piston for more.

the way color vs color temperature bulbs are handled may not be foolproof but it should work 99% of the time.

[Csietsema]

I’ll give it a try! Thank you so much for helping me out!

[bangali]

you are welcome.

after making 2 copies of this piston remember to delete the second for loop from one piston … this will be your save piston.

from the other copy delete the set and the first for loop … this will be your restore piston.

then call each of them respectively when you want settings saved or restored.

[bangali]

so did it work?

[Csietsema]

With some trial and error I was able to get it running! Thank you again for helping me with this! I have another question though is there a way to save the lights state for every room as a global variable and then call the variable for specific rooms?
