SMS / PUSH within a piston

#1

I’m trying to set one piston to control the outside lights. I would like them to come on at SUNSET and off at SUNRISE. But want SMS or PUSH when the piston fires. I’m happy with sunset / sunrise and offsets but can’t figure out the SMS / PUSH within a piston.

This works but is it right?

Drag line 34 right under line 25, do the same for line 52, drag it under line 43. You can delete the extra IFs with the ‘changes to’.

You can stack tasks/commands one after the other.

Also, to add to what @eibyer said, the command "Send PUSH notification" is system wide, so that command can be placed inside any block (under any device).

That should work, but I don’t know why there is no lightning bolt in your left margin

Nope - Fires but no notification via SMS.??

Is the phone number in the format like this?
9075551234
(it may be different if you are outside of the United States)

No - Its +44 and then my mobile minus the “0”. The SMS notification was working in my 2nd example. UK is +44

Oh, I just noticed you switched from “Send PUSH notification” to “Send SMS notification”.

I think you need to remove the double quotes. Normally, what is inside the quotes is sent, so by removing the quotes you placed around ON it should send.

(still baffled as to how it runs with no lightning bolt though)
