This is very easily accomplished with CoRE. So you might as well just jump into it head first!! The possibilities are endless and there are several people always willing to help with your questions.

CoRE for Dummies (How to get started and make your first Piston)

This is a noob’s post created by a noob. EDIT: 9/9/16 updated some links and added some newer info (Amazon’s Alexa, etc.) EDIT: 9/10/16 updated some key info not mentioned in the install links I’ve started this not because I know a bunch about CoRE (Community’s own Rules Engine), in fact it’s quite the opposite.

There is a lot info out there mainly designed to help people do amazing things with CoRE, but it was hard to find the “for Dummies” type info. And very hard for me (a true noob) to get started.

[DEPRECATED THREAD] webCoRE design process

This thread has been deprecated as a result of webCoRE moving on through the development stages. Please use the latest Beta Milestone thread available here.

So work has been performed to move most, if not all, of the UI to an HTML5 platform. This brings several benefits, among which, speed (yey!), UI flexibility, the ability to backup pistons, to restore one or all pistons, privately/publicly share a piston, publish a piston as a template. Speed is one of the main gains here, with the HTML5 UI being able to cache all required data at load time, allowing the editing of the piston to be done “offli…

Hope this helps with your process and look forward to seeing you over there. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me or over there as well!
