Enabling OAuth for webCoRE

5. Click the Update button at the bottom of the page.

   

Installing webCoRE

1. Open the SmartThings app on your mobile device.
2. Tap the Marketplace icon at the bottom of the screen. If you are in a Room or Device within the app you will need to go back to My Home.
3. Tap the SmartApps header at the top of the page.
4. Scroll down and tap My Apps.
5. Scroll down until you find webCoRE and tap it. Do not tap webCoRE Piston. If you can't find webCore you likely skipped some steps above.
6. Tap Next.
7. Here you can change the name from webCoRE to anything you desire then tap Next. (Recommend leaving it unless you are working with multiple instances.)
8. Choose a password and expiration length then tap Next.
9. Scroll through the list and select all of the devices you want webCoRE to have access to. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use those devices in webCoRE. This must also be done again when adding new devices to your SmartThings Account. webCoRE will not automatically import them.
10. Tap Next.
11. Tap Done.

Opening the new dashboard from your phone

1. From within the SmartThings app, tap the Automations icon at the bottom of the screen and select the SmartApps section.
2. Scroll down and tap the name of the webCoRE instance you are trying to access. This is typically webCoRE, unless you edited the name during the installation process.
3. Tap Dashboard.
4. You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.

Using webCoRE from another browser

You cannot bookmark the URL you launched from the SmartThing app. In order to use webCoRE on another device you must follow these instructions.

1. From within the SmartThings app, tap the Automations icon at the bottom of the screen and select the SmartApps section.
2. Scroll down and tap the name of the webCoRE instance you are trying to access. This is typically webCoRE, unless you edited the name during the installation process.
3. Tap Register a browser, a page will appear providing you with a registration code. The code expires in 3 minutes and can only be used once.

   

4. On your other device, open the browser and visit webcore.co/re
5. Enter the code and click Register.
6. You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.

Github Installation Troubleshooting

If you receive this error it may be because you installed and published both "webCore.groovy" and other SmartApps at the same time. Please do them in order per the instructions. Be sure to install/publish "webCore.groovy" first then the others after (See steps 11-16). You can do the other SmartApps at the same time after "webCore.groovy" has been installed and published.
