9/6/2023 0 Comments Smartapp code![]() ![]() Both Routines and webCoRE run in the cloud so you aren’t losing anything there. You could always setup a Routine that has no automation that you simply create a widget for on your phone and when you want a one time run, you simply press your widget and that routine fires, but outside of a specific day of the week, you aren’t going to get down to that layer of granularity for specific date / year OOTB without creating (learning even more) a custom SmartApp. There are many other HA hubs where you don’t have this layer of complexity and don’t have to learn to the level of SmartThings, but then again, you aren’t going to find one that will allow you the flexibility and freedom to go outside the box and set something up to run on a specific date / year and then be left alone. Unless you are simply installing / configuring / running the most vanilla setup (supported devices using ootb device handlers, or scheduling basic routines for Automations) in SmartThings, once you go outside that box, there are additional things you must learn, install.or configure. I believe that when it comes to the SmartThings platform, reading, learning and doing some of the “homework” is a requirement because of the many different extended capabilities and directions that you can go in. ![]() ![]() I think that’s why anyone avoids something like this - because you have to learn something and do a little footwork. Let’s be honest, it makes me do work to set it up when I would rather just copy someone else’s code. WebCoRE fills the gap: It’s “nearly” as powerful as raw programming, while being “nearly” as simple as a traditional macro builder, rule builder, robot builder or whatever other products call such an automation creator. Custom SmartApps can do anything you want, but even with the relatively “easy” language of Groovy, that’s not a suitable answer for 95% of folks. Then use something else to do the one-time scheduling … IFTTT or Stringify come to mind for simplicity, or SmartRules (App for iOS), or Sharp Tools (app for Android), or the SmartApp code to “execute” a single Routine isn’t very hard to write and wouldn’t be a bad start to learning ST programming.īut … yup: WebCoRE was written because SmartThings does not include what you and many customers feel are “simple, fundamental use cases”. After integrating with the SmartThings Platform, you can enable users of your. This includes creating a SmartApp record to associate your OAuth-In SmartApp with the SmartThings Platform, and defining the OAuth permission scopes and redirect URIs used in the authorization code flow. Make that Routine (and/or Scene) triggered by a specific real or Virtual Switch or Button. This topic covers the high-level process of integrating your apps with the SmartThings Platform using OAuth. Is there a SmartApp that supports scheduling a “one shot” event?įirst see if a Routine (and/or Scene) will do all the tasks. ![]()
