Question

Moving some webcore pistons to automations in new app for local operations. Going well but I cant work out 2 things. 1 - Is there a way to use toggle when using ST button, I only see on or off. It's ok in webcore. 2 - I want an outside light automation to turn on at sunset and off at 9pm. I only see from start time to end time or sunrise and sunset. Any help appreciated.  

Answer 1

For toggle, instead of creating a new automation with the “+” feature, go select the button that you want to initiate the toggle. Then, select the device that you want the button to control.

Selecting the light that you want to control will automatically have it set to toggle, or “switch power state. ” If you click again on that device you can have it turn on or turn off with some other options, but you cannot select “toggle” on you have the button turn the light on or off— you would then have to remove the light from this automation and then add it again.

Maybe it’s just different for Android vs. iPhone? It just seems to be terminology. If it works, it works.
