Hello,
I updated the WebCore for Hubitat App yesterday (Sept 18th) and since then, pistons that I have used for several years to start and stop ceiling fans based on my HVAC System Blower are not working. From review of the Piston and Trace, it appears that the Webcore Command to Stop the GE/Jasco Celing Fan (switch) does not get sent out.
Any others have this issue?
Thanks,
John
Just FYI… I’m using local Boolean variables If the Ceiling Fan is automatically started with Webcore, I set a variable to true. When the blower stops (sensed by a zwave sensor), I change the variable to false. I have a statement that if the ceiling fan auto start variable changes to false, the ceiling fan is sent a command to turn off.
So the issue could be related to local variables.
I have confirmed that the Boolean variable are changing from false to true and true to false as programmed. The ceiling fans just don’t get the off command.
Below is a Log that includes the Blower Turning On and Turning on the Ceiling Fan along with the Blower Turning off but not Turning Off the Ceiling Fan. This worked up until I update the WebCore Version yesterday.

Can you point out where you think webCoRE is doing a comparison or operation incorrectly?
I don’t see one at first pass in this.
I do see you using trigger comparisons (line 103 is now and stays) for a local boolean variable. trigger comparisons need trigger able device which a local boolean variable is not. I will check if there should be more warnings generated by the piston analyser.
I also see you expecting in line 121 (changes to) is another trigger comparison without a trigger able device event.
I don’t see an incorrect comparison in your logs, but if I’m missing it please point it out.
I do see:
I see you are trying to trigger the off based on a boolean as a trigger, which will never happen.
Hi @E_Sch… I just went ahead and modified the WebCore code to what is posted below. Rather than having the Ceiling Fan Turn off based on a True/False variable changing to False, I just based it turning off from the Contact (HVAC Blower) being changed to Open. It seems to work fine now.
I do think that with the Code update, something related to Local Variables being an acceptable trigger effect has changed.
Local variables (boolean) have never been a trigger. If it was a device variable with devices in it it could be. This has always been this way in webcore.
