Trigger on outlet change


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Need to create a piston that when my GE outlet changes from on to off or from off to on that it will send me an email

2) What is the expected behaviour?
Email on outlet changing

3) What is happening/not happening?
Unsure how to design

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!
None yet


#2
IF Outlet changes
Then
Send Email

If the outlet changes either way, it will send an email.


#3

Just be aware that there is a strict daily limit on emails… (I think 50 is the max) Anything beyond will be lost forever.

The emails you receive from any piston as well as emails you receive from this forum both count towards that maximum…

Forgive me but I am new. I am looking at the If statement but confused on what to select from the dropdown. Would someone have an example they would be willing to share?


#5

Is your Outlet visible in webcore? Then you would choose it as the “Physical device”

Here is what I have


#7


Click in your THEN “Add a new statement”
Select “Add an action”


Select “Add a task”


Then “Send email”


#8

Just curious…what kind of changes are you looking for? On/Off? Voltage changes?
