Scene Capture (webCoRE & Action Tiles)

Scene Capture is a script using webCoRE pistons and php to capture your current SmartThings light setup and save it (no database needed) for later. This tool was initially created to help my friends & clients play around with their lights and then be able to capture the current scene so I could later set it up for them without visiting their home.

This tool supports multiple users in case you are helping more then 1 friend or client with their smart home lights.

SETTING UP

1. Upload package to your web host

2. Create 2 new pistons in webCoRE using the follwoing backup codes

   Get Scene: v9uoe

   Run Scene: redy9

3. Inside the Get Scene piston, update allDevices (line 13) variable to all the lights you would like to pull data from

   You also need to update the url for GET Request (line 53) so that it points to store-scene.php on your domain.

   If you are this for multiple users (webCoRE Instances) you also need to update userId (line 21) with a unique name/number (no spaces or special characters) for each Get Scene piston. If left blank userId 1 will be autmoaticlly used.

4. Open up config.php and enter the 2 pistons External URL's. You can get them by opening each piston, right click on External URL link and select Copy Link.

   // webCoRE Run Scene Piston URL
   $webcoreUrlRun = "WEBCORE_RUN_URL_HERE";
   
   // webCoRE Get Scene Piston URL
   $webcoreUrlGet = "WEBCORE_GET_URL_HERE";
   

5. In ActionTiles, create a new shortcut and point it to https://YOUR_DOMAIN/create-scene.php

6. Add the new shortcut tile to your panel and make sure you select tile content to Open shortcut in a dialog within the Panel
