1) Give a description of the problem
I wrote these pistons, I think they are good but it’s a little hard to track with the Nest app. Hoping someone can confirm the code looks okay.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
Certain summer nights are extra hot and our upstairs bedroom gets really hot overnight. I wanted a way to “jog” Nest into running AC periodically throughout the night, only when we need it. So the idea is when the global variable “hotNight” is True (this is triggered by the 1st piston, initiated by the user via Apple Shortcuts), then in the 2nd piston SmartThings will turn my Nest Thermostat mode to cooling/AC and set the temp to 2 degrees lower than the current temp in order to make sure it actively cools overnight. It will get triggered like this at midnight, 2am, and 4 am. Then at 5am the global variable will reset, so this behavior won’t happen again until a user runs the 1st piston again.
3) What is happening/not happening?
It seems to be working according to the logs, I think, but I am not that familiar with expressions and not sure if I have that portion of the code correct. It’s also hard to tell in the Nest app if and when and how long it actually cooled overnight.
4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
