How to create my first App

Hi SmartThings community!

I’m very new to the updated SmartThings IDE and Web interfaces.
I just successfully created an API Rule from the SmartThings Rules page. It works perfectly and now I would like to use it many many times for multiple devices.

I need to make a generalized version of this API Rule (i.e. instead of having a set Device ID coded in my rule, I would like a way to create multiple Rules using different devices using a device selector).

Is there a way to create my own App and use it in my own SmartThings? I used to be able to do it 5-6 years ago but can’t find it anymore with the recent updates to the SmartThings app and web.

Thank you for the help

You can create webhook apps, but you must host them on your own server somewhere. Refer to these docs for more info.
