Simple button triggers piston


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Im simply trying to have a button trigger an existing piston

2) What is the expected behaviour?
When pushing my smartthings button, it manually triggers my goodnight piston which sets all my lights in the house to nighttime settings

Sorry but I can’t understand what you need?
Can you be more sprecific?

Thank you.

Looks like you are looking for something like this

Switch 14 is a virtual momentary bottom.

There are a few ways to do this… but be aware that most of the time, the “Good night” piston will have to be modified to allow for a new input.

(unless it already has this up top)


What I usually do instead is duplicate my current “Good Night” piston,

and then edit and tweak the new version to trigger from the new device.

This way, your current method, AND the new method will both work.

The easiest way is simply add a trigger to the top of the duplicated piston:

If button is pressed, then do Good Night stuff.


If (for some reason) you only want one Good Night piston, then I would have to see it before making other recommendations.
