Setting webCore Variable from Virtual Thermostat Setpoint from Smartthings


#1

I’m trying to control the variables used by a piston for my thermostats from the smartthings app. As one specific example, I’d like to be able to change something in the app and the temperature setpoint used by the part of the piston (e.g., Daytime while home) will automatically update.

I thought this could be done with a virtual thermostat and have the piston set the appropriate variables by reading the setpoints from a virtual thermostat. But I don’t see a virtual thermostat in the IDE. I do see a simulated thermostat but that doesn’t seem to work (e.g., a lot of Celsius/Fahrenheit confusion, networks errors when setpoint changes).

Any idea how to accomplish this?

I don’t have ST anymore so I’m not of much help here. I don’t know if virtual devices like thermostats are still available in the new ST environment.
