webCoRE for Hubitat Updates

ilovecoffee · September 25, 2020, 5:52pm

Can someone help me with this logic? I haven't been able to format it quite. A simple piston that checks if I arrived RECENTLY AND when I open my garage door AND when it's between a certain time. The idea is that I want to turn on the lights if I arrive home in the evening. But in order to do so, I have to check if I am PRESENT but was recently NOT PRESENT.

if User's presence was not present for less than 4 minutes
and
Garage Entry's Doors contact changes to open
and
User's presence is present

It's the top line that I am having trouble with... I want to know if I was recently NOT present. Changing "less than" to "at least" also does not seem to work. I'm not sure of the logic webcore uses.

I do that exact thing.

The way to do it is with variables.

if User's presence changes to present

then record the current time.

if Garage Entry's Doors contact changes to open

... and it's within 4 minutes of the time you recorded, turn the lights on.

EDIT: Here's the piston I use.

Thank you! Why didn't I think of this?? Lol

Does anybody have any issues with the WebCore time functions? For example:

time("11:00:00 PM")

That should return today's date at 11PM in the local time zone. On SmartThings, it did; but on Hubitat, it seems to return 11PM GMT, ignoring the fact that my local time zone is 4 hours behind, and it gives me 7PM in my local time zone.

Edit: It might be a different issue, because

time("10:00:00 PM")

also returns 7PM.

Edit2: I think I figured it out -- the time() function doesn't accept seconds:

time("11:00 PM")
time("11:10 PM")
time("23:00")

all return the correct values.

This is a difference from the SmartThings version, which accepted seconds; and the datetime() function in HE WebCore, which also accepts seconds.

hi all what the best way to make sure i am up to date in webcore i am new to he thanks

n9mfk9 · September 27, 2020, 6:14pm

I noticed on thing in HPM I did not see addon for weather for webcore

bobbles · September 27, 2020, 6:23pm

I'm not sure what you mean but is this what you are after?

n9mfk9 · September 27, 2020, 7:33pm

i see the update for the charts but not weather

dorian.workman · September 29, 2020, 10:25pm

Hi all. I hope this is the correct thread to post general Webcore on Hubitat questions. If it isn't, please point me to the right thread.

I'm a longtime Webcore on ST user who just switched over to HE. I am having an issue with some pistons not sending notifications, but other pistons do. The pistons that do work seems to work nearly every time; the ones that do not work never work.

I have attached an example of one piston that does not send notifications, and two that do. Can you see anything wrong in the piston, or suggest any other fixes please?

Thanks.

Is there anything in either the HE logs or the webcore IDE logs about the execution of the not working piston?

You can ask questions here or in the webcore forum. Having webCoRE ide logs set to full for the piston not working may help see the issue.

My webcore triggers are 1 hour late. How do I adjust the time that webcore uses?

eibyer · September 30, 2020, 1:35am

What does your Current Hub time say under HE Settings>Hub Details?

dvan · September 30, 2020, 1:08pm

2020-09-30 9:05:07 AM EDT

time is correct under hub status

dvan · September 30, 2020, 1:25pm

Wow I feel dumb, the alert that is 1 hour late is coming from RM not WebCore.. built a piston just to report time before I realized that

I gave RM a shot but I will be using WC going forward.

dorian.workman · September 30, 2020, 1:52pm

Logs attached. I have tried both a trigger and a condition as you can see in the logs. It seems that the trigger/condition does fire the piston, but then the piston reevaluates the trigger/piston in its execution stage. The triggering device is a virtual switch with auto-off set to 500ms so by the time the execution stage runs the switch has turned itself off.

What I don't understand is why the execution stage reevaluates the switch state?

The piston is subscribed to the switch event, so on/off will trigger the piston. The switch gets turned on, the piston does its thing, the auto-off kicks in, the piston sees the event so it cancels the timer.

Maybe set your auto-off longer than your wait or set TCP to never. Did your virtual switch in ST have an auto-off?

dorian.workman · September 30, 2020, 2:05pm

Yes I had just realized the same. Changing the TCP to 'never' did the trick. Thanks!

To answer your question, I was using a virtual momentary button in ST so never had the issue.

eibyer · September 30, 2020, 2:07pm

Yeah, the auto-off on the virtual switch tripped me up the first time I used one also. Didn't notice the setting lower in the Preferences.

dorian.workman · September 30, 2020, 2:11pm

Thanks for the fast response, much appreciated.

jsarcone · October 3, 2020, 1:17am

I'm see an issue with particular function.
I'm try to prevent (flapping) retrigger.
I'm using the if something hasn't changed in the x (time); If true (run). If not (don't run)

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I have used this on ST and this has worked but I don't see working here.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Note I know I have restriction 3 places testing and it falls in all three attempts.
