Getting started with Core (for Dummies)

[JDRoberts]

@Joelrsails

• Can I run Core on my iPhone…or does it have to be on a computer?

The custom code FAQ linked to above should answer most of your questions, but with regard to this one…

CORE will actually run in the SmartThings cloud, on the company’s servers.

You will do a one time setup to publish it to your account by using the IDE in a web browser.

Once it’s installed in your account, you’ll be able to set up individual rules, called Pistons, by using the SmartThings mobile app on your phone. But when the rules actually run, they’ll be running in the cloud.

You can see piston examples in the peer assistance thread:

Welcome to the CoRE Logic Thread. Here you will find many community members that are more than willing to help you with the Logic and Programming of your Pistons. **There will be another thread for “How are you using CoRE?” and “How are you using the CoRE/AskAlexa integration?”. So, this is the place to ask your questions and the place to get the answers.
