= General =<br />
The ''web Community's own Rule Engine'' (or for short, webCoRE) is a general rule engine for SmartThings. It works by allowing users to create scripts that are interpreted and executed by the SmartThings SmartApp, allowing for complex decisions. webCoRE is currently a work in progress. webCoRE reached the first Beta milestone on April 29, 2017. <br />
<br />
Currently webCoRE is in the Second Beta milestone as of June 7th, 2017. Lots of bugs have been squashed and several new features have been implemented. <br />
<br />
Please review the [[webCoRE todo]] list for a loose road map.<br />
<br />

{{:Glossary}}<br />
<br />
= Getting started =<br />
A few steps need to be completed before you can use webCoRE. First, webCoRE needs to be installed in your SmartThings account, then automations need to be configured. These are called [[Piston|pistons]] and will be detailed later. So let's start by installing webCoRE, please follow the steps below. <br />
<br />
Please be sure to read through all the instructions. If you are still getting stuck then check the troubleshooting sections. Should you still have problems then please feel free to ask for some help on the SmartThings Forums. Be sure to find the latest webCoRE help post.<br />
<br />
=Installing webCoRE=<br />
These instructions will guide you through installing webCoRE via GitHub integration or manually all the way to adding devices and authorizing your browser for use. Be sure to follow all the steps as proper order is crucial when installing for the first time.<br />

#:[[File:Oauth.jpg|frameless|600px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Installing webCoRE==<br />
# Open the SmartThings app on your mobile device.<br />
# 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'''.<br />
# Tap the '''SmartApps''' header at the top of the page.<br />
# Scroll down and tap '''My Apps'''.<br />
# 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.<br />
# Tap '''Next'''.<br />
# 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.'')<br />
# Choose a password and expiration length then tap '''Next'''.<br />
# 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.<br />
# Tap '''Next'''.<br />
# Tap '''Done'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Opening the new dashboard from your phone==<br />
# From within the SmartThings app, tap the Automations icon at the bottom of the screen and select the SmartApps section.<br />
# 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.<br />
# Tap Dashboard.<br />
# You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Using webCoRE from another browser==<br />
You cannot bookmark the URL you launched from the SmartThing app. In order to use webCoRE on another device you must follow these instructions.<br />
<br />
# From within the SmartThings app, tap the '''Automations''' icon at the bottom of the screen and select the '''SmartApps''' section.<br />
# 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.<br />
# 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.<br />
#: [[File:Register-browser.png|Register a Browser]] [[File:Register-browser-code.png|Register a Browser]]<br />
# On your other device, open the browser and visit <i>[https://webcore.co/re webcore.co/re]</i><br />
# Enter the code and click '''Register'''.<br />
# You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
= Updating webCoRE =<br />
[[file:UpdateAlert.png]]<BR><br />
When you see the alert that there is a new version available or that your smartapps are not the same version then you will need to update the webCoRE code. This has a few benefits besides being on the latest and greatest version. It is best to keep webCoRE up to date because bugs are constantly getting squashed and new features added with each version. This will make troubleshooting easier when you are running into issues and seeking help. Lastly SmartThings keeps the most used SmartApps in their cache which means quicker response times on your pistons. <br />
<br />
For those of you with gitHub integration this is a quick and painless process. If you manually installed then it is a similar process as before. Either way updating only takes a few minutes of your time. <br />
<br />
== GitHub ==<br />
#Log into the [https://account.smartthings.com SmartThings IDE].<br />
#Select My SmartApps<br />
#*You will see all the webCoRE SmartApps listed in a purple color<br />
#Click update from Repo<br />
#Select webCoRE(Master)<br />
#*In the Obsolete column you will see the 4 webCoRE SmartApps<br />
#Select all 4 checkboxes<br />
#Click the publish checkbox<br />
#Click Execute Update<br />
<br />
== Manual Update == <br />
This requires a little bit more work than gitHub integration but still will only take a few moments. Visit the links below and copy and paste the new raw code over the obsolete code then publish and execute update.<br />

<br />
== Update Complete ==<br />
That is all you have to do. Your webCoRE instance's are now up to date. However if you have multiple locations(hubs) then you will need to do this for each location(hub).<br />
<br />
=Troubleshooting=<br />
Here are some common troubleshooting things to try if you are having issues with the following categories<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
[[File:500error.png|frameless|400px]]<br><br />
<br />
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.<br />

=Sample Pistons=<br />
This section has some user contributed sample pistons. You can import any of these pistons using the import code displayed at the top of the piston.<br />
# [[Samples]]<br />
<br />
= Understanding the basics =<br />
webCoRE is comprised of the three main components listed below.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE child SmartApp (''webCoRE Piston'') ==<br />
The webCoRE child SmartApp is also known as a [[Piston|piston]]. It is responsible for executing the automation script that the user creates and does the heavy lifting in the whole webCoRE ecosystem. It is directly managed by the webCoRE parent SmartApp, which can create, maintain, and delete a Piston.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE parent SmartApp (''webCoRE'') ==<br />
The wabCoRE parent SmartApp is the component responsible for managing the child SmartApp instances and their relationship with the Dashboard. It is the middle man that allows adding new Pistons, maintaining them, or deleting them. It is also responsible with the security of the whole ecosystem, allowing password secured access from the Dashboard.<br />
<br />
== The [[Dashboard|dashboard]] ==<br />
The Dashboard is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML] interface for webCoRE that allows users to manage their webCoRE installation. It is the central hub to controlling webCoRE, allowing the user to create, modify, test, and delete Pistons.<br />
<br />
=Anatomy of a webCoRE Piston=<br />
::''Main article [[Piston]]''<br />
A piston is a script that contains a collection of elements, arranged so that the logic and flow of the piston perform tasks in a desired sequence. It is broken down into several sections, each having its own important role.<br />
<br />
//todo: most details below need to be moved into the main article<br />
<br />
==The ''settings'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show piston settings</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
These settings allows configuration of how certain aspects of the piston function. <br />
<br />
[[file:pistonsettings.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Name''' - Change the name of a piston.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the piston does.<br />
*'''Automatic piston state''' - Change whether the piston handles it state or make it manual and you can control the piston's state.<br />
*'''Piston execution parallelism''' - //todo<br />
*'''Condition traversal optimizations''' - //todo<br />
*'''Event subscriptions''' - Allow event subscriptions or turn them off if you would like to make the piston a follow up style piston. If you disable this then you must have some other means for the piston to be fired.<br />
*'''Command execution delay''' - A delay in milliseconds for commands to be executed piston wide.<br />
<br />
==The ''define'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show variables</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
A very powerful feature of webCoRE is the ability to use [[Variable|variables]]. Think of variables as temporary pockets where you can store information and are able to later retrieve and use this information for any purpose. This information can be used either during the current piston run, or at a later time, when another event occurs.<br />
<br />
[[file:pistondefine.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Type''' - You can select from the different [[Variable_data_types|Variable Data Types]] for you variable.<br />
*'''Name''' - This is the empty box next to the type. Enter a name for your variable.<br />
*'''Initial value''' - This is defaulted to <code>Nothing selected</code>. If you decide to give it an initial value then that value will be used at each piston run regardless of what is stored in later piston runs.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the variable is used for.<br />
<br />
==The ''execute'' section==<br />
This section describes the piston's logic flow. This is the starting point of most executions. Whenever a device event happens, the piston starts its execution here. To get started click on <code>Add a new statement</code><br />
<br />
[[file:executesimple.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
These are you 3 basic building blocks with their description listed below them. There are several more options to choose from aside from these three. In order to gain access to these you will again have to visit that trusty options menu in the top right hand corner and select <code>Show advanced statments</code><br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
After you do this and you click on <code>Add a new statement</code> you will now have access to all the available statement options.<br />

= Updating webCoRE =<br />
[[file:UpdateAlert.png]]<BR><br />
When you see the alert that there is a new version available or that your smartapps are not the same version then you will need to update the webCoRE code. This has a few benefits besides being on the latest and greatest version. It is best to keep webCoRE up to date because bugs are constantly getting squashed and new features added with each version. This will make troubleshooting easier when you are running into issues and seeking help. Lastly SmartThings keeps the most used SmartApps in their cache which means quicker response times on your pistons. <br />
<br />
For those of you with gitHub integration this is a quick and painless process. If you manually installed then it is a similar process as before. Either way updating only takes a few minutes of your time. <br />
<br />
== GitHub ==<br />
#Log into the SmartThings IDE<br />
#Select My SmartApps<br />
#*You will see all the webCoRE SmartApps listed in a purple color<br />
#Click update from Repo<br />

#*In the Obsolete column you will see the 4 webCoRE SmartApps<br />
#Select all 4 checkboxes<br />
#Click the publish checkbox<br />
#Click Execute Update<br />
<br />
== Manual Update == <br />
This requires a little bit more work than gitHub integration but still will only take a few moments. Visit the links below and copy and paste the new raw code over the obsolete code then publish and execute update.<br />

That is all you have to do. Your webCoRE instance's are now up to date. However if you have multiple locations(hubs) then you will need to do this for each location(hub).<br />
<br />
=Troubleshooting=<br />
Here are some common troubleshooting things to try if you are having issues with the following categories<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
[[File:500error.png|frameless|400px]]<br><br />
<br />
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.<br />

=Sample Pistons=<br />
This section has some user contributed sample pistons. You can import any of these pistons using the import code displayed at the top of the piston.<br />
# [[Samples]]<br />
<br />
= Understanding the basics =<br />
webCoRE is comprised of the three main components listed below.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE child SmartApp (''webCoRE Piston'') ==<br />
The webCoRE child SmartApp is also known as a [[Piston|piston]]. It is responsible for executing the automation script that the user creates and does the heavy lifting in the whole webCoRE ecosystem. It is directly managed by the webCoRE parent SmartApp, which can create, maintain, and delete a Piston.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE parent SmartApp (''webCoRE'') ==<br />
The wabCoRE parent SmartApp is the component responsible for managing the child SmartApp instances and their relationship with the Dashboard. It is the middle man that allows adding new Pistons, maintaining them, or deleting them. It is also responsible with the security of the whole ecosystem, allowing password secured access from the Dashboard.<br />
<br />
== The [[Dashboard|dashboard]] ==<br />
The Dashboard is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML] interface for webCoRE that allows users to manage their webCoRE installation. It is the central hub to controlling webCoRE, allowing the user to create, modify, test, and delete Pistons.<br />
<br />
=Anatomy of a webCoRE Piston=<br />
::''Main article [[Piston]]''<br />
A piston is a script that contains a collection of elements, arranged so that the logic and flow of the piston perform tasks in a desired sequence. It is broken down into several sections, each having its own important role.<br />
<br />
//todo: most details below need to be moved into the main article<br />
<br />
==The ''settings'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show piston settings</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
These settings allows configuration of how certain aspects of the piston function. <br />
<br />
[[file:pistonsettings.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Name''' - Change the name of a piston.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the piston does.<br />
*'''Automatic piston state''' - Change whether the piston handles it state or make it manual and you can control the piston's state.<br />
*'''Piston execution parallelism''' - //todo<br />
*'''Condition traversal optimizations''' - //todo<br />
*'''Event subscriptions''' - Allow event subscriptions or turn them off if you would like to make the piston a follow up style piston. If you disable this then you must have some other means for the piston to be fired.<br />
*'''Command execution delay''' - A delay in milliseconds for commands to be executed piston wide.<br />
<br />
==The ''define'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show variables</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
A very powerful feature of webCoRE is the ability to use [[Variable|variables]]. Think of variables as temporary pockets where you can store information and are able to later retrieve and use this information for any purpose. This information can be used either during the current piston run, or at a later time, when another event occurs.<br />
<br />
[[file:pistondefine.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Type''' - You can select from the different [[Variable_data_types|Variable Data Types]] for you variable.<br />
*'''Name''' - This is the empty box next to the type. Enter a name for your variable.<br />
*'''Initial value''' - This is defaulted to <code>Nothing selected</code>. If you decide to give it an initial value then that value will be used at each piston run regardless of what is stored in later piston runs.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the variable is used for.<br />
<br />
==The ''execute'' section==<br />
This section describes the piston's logic flow. This is the starting point of most executions. Whenever a device event happens, the piston starts its execution here. To get started click on <code>Add a new statement</code><br />
<br />
[[file:executesimple.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
These are you 3 basic building blocks with their description listed below them. There are several more options to choose from aside from these three. In order to gain access to these you will again have to visit that trusty options menu in the top right hand corner and select <code>Show advanced statments</code><br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
After you do this and you click on <code>Add a new statement</code> you will now have access to all the available statement options.<br />

= General =<br />
The ''web Community's own Rule Engine'' (or for short, webCoRE) is a general rule engine for SmartThings. It works by allowing users to create scripts that are interpreted and executed by the SmartThings SmartApp, allowing for complex decisions. webCoRE is currently a work in progress. webCoRE reached the first Beta milestone on April 29, 2017. <br />
<br />
Currently webCoRE is in the Second Beta milestone as of June 7th, 2017. Lots of bugs have been squashed and several new features have been implemented. <br />
<br />
Please review the [[webCoRE todo]] list for a loose road map.<br />
<br />
=Definitions=<br />
{{:Glossary}}<br />
<br />
= Getting started =<br />
A few steps need to be completed before you can use webCoRE. First, webCoRE needs to be installed in your SmartThings account, then automations need to be configured. These are called [[Piston|pistons]] and will be detailed later. So let's start by installing webCoRE, please follow the steps below. <br />
<br />
Please be sure to read through all the instructions. If you are still getting stuck then check the troubleshooting sections. Should you still have problems then please feel free to ask for some help on the SmartThings Forums. Be sure to find the latest webCoRE help post.<br />
<br />
=Installing webCoRE=<br />
These instructions will guide you through installing webCoRE via GitHub integration or manually all the way to adding devices and authorizing your browser for use. Be sure to follow all the steps as proper order is crucial when installing for the first time.<br />
<br />

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.<br />

= Understanding the basics =<br />
webCoRE is comprised of the three main components listed below.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE child SmartApp (''webCoRE Piston'') ==<br />
The webCoRE child SmartApp is also known as a [[Piston|piston]]. It is responsible for executing the automation script that the user creates and does the heavy lifting in the whole webCoRE ecosystem. It is directly managed by the webCoRE parent SmartApp, which can create, maintain, and delete a Piston.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE parent SmartApp (''webCoRE'') ==<br />
The wabCoRE parent SmartApp is the component responsible for managing the child SmartApp instances and their relationship with the Dashboard. It is the middle man that allows adding new Pistons, maintaining them, or deleting them. It is also responsible with the security of the whole ecosystem, allowing password secured access from the Dashboard.<br />
<br />
== The [[Dashboard|dashboard]] ==<br />
The Dashboard is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML] interface for webCoRE that allows users to manage their webCoRE installation. It is the central hub to controlling webCoRE, allowing the user to create, modify, test, and delete Pistons.<br />
<br />
=Anatomy of a webCoRE Piston=<br />
::''Main article [[Piston]]''<br />
A piston is a script that contains a collection of elements, arranged so that the logic and flow of the piston perform tasks in a desired sequence. It is broken down into several sections, each having its own important role.<br />
<br />
//todo: most details below need to be moved into the main article<br />
<br />
==The ''settings'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show piston settings</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
These settings allows configuration of how certain aspects of the piston function. <br />
<br />
[[file:pistonsettings.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Name''' - Change the name of a piston.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the piston does.<br />
*'''Automatic piston state''' - Change whether the piston handles it state or make it manual and you can control the piston's state.<br />
*'''Piston execution parallelism''' - //todo<br />
*'''Condition traversal optimizations''' - //todo<br />
*'''Event subscriptions''' - Allow event subscriptions or turn them off if you would like to make the piston a follow up style piston. If you disable this then you must have some other means for the piston to be fired.<br />
*'''Command execution delay''' - A delay in milliseconds for commands to be executed piston wide.<br />
<br />
==The ''define'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show variables</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
A very powerful feature of webCoRE is the ability to use [[Variable|variables]]. Think of variables as temporary pockets where you can store information and are able to later retrieve and use this information for any purpose. This information can be used either during the current piston run, or at a later time, when another event occurs.<br />
<br />
[[file:pistondefine.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Type''' - You can select from the different [[Variable_data_types|Variable Data Types]] for you variable.<br />
*'''Name''' - This is the empty box next to the type. Enter a name for your variable.<br />
*'''Initial value''' - This is defaulted to <code>Nothing selected</code>. If you decide to give it an initial value then that value will be used at each piston run regardless of what is stored in later piston runs.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the variable is used for.<br />
<br />
==The ''execute'' section==<br />
This section describes the piston's logic flow. This is the starting point of most executions. Whenever a device event happens, the piston starts its execution here. To get started click on <code>Add a new statement</code><br />
<br />
[[file:executesimple.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
These are you 3 basic building blocks with their description listed below them. There are several more options to choose from aside from these three. In order to gain access to these you will again have to visit that trusty options menu in the top right hand corner and select <code>Show advanced statments</code><br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />

After you do this and you click on <code>Add a new statement</code> you will now have access to all the available statement options.<br />

= General =<br />
The ''web Community's own Rule Engine'' (or for short, webCoRE) is a general rule engine for SmartThings. It works by allowing users to create scripts that are interpreted and executed by the SmartThings SmartApp, allowing for complex decisions. webCoRE is currently a work in progress. webCoRE reached the first Beta milestone on April 29, 2017. <br />
<br />
Currently webCoRE is in the Second Beta milestone as of June 7th, 2017. Lots of bugs have been squashed and several new features have been implemented. <br />
<br />
Please review the [[webCoRE todo]] list for a loose road map.<br />
<br />
=Definitions=<br />
{{:Glossary}}<br />
<br />
= Getting started =<br />
A few steps need to be completed before you can use webCoRE. First, webCoRE needs to be installed in your SmartThings account, then automations need to be configured. These are called [[Piston|pistons]] and will be detailed later. So let's start by installing webCoRE, please follow the steps below. <br />
<br />
Please be sure to read through all the instructions. If you are still getting stuck then check the troubleshooting sections. Should you still have problems then please feel free to ask for some help on the SmartThings Forums. Be sure to find the latest webCoRE help post.<br />
<br />
=Installing webCoRE=<br />
These instructions will guide you through installing webCoRE via GitHub integration or manually all the way to adding devices and authorizing your browser for use. Be sure to follow all the steps as proper order is crucial when installing for the first time.<br />

<br />
# From within the SmartThings app, tap the '''Automations''' icon at the bottom of the screen and select the '''SmartApps''' section.<br />
# 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.<br />
# 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.<br />
#: [[File:Register-browser.png|Register a Browser]] [[File:Register-browser-code.png|Register a Browser]]<br />
# On your other device, open the browser and visit <i>[https://webcore.co/re webcore.co/re]</i><br />
# Enter the code and click '''Register'''.<br />
# You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
= Updating webCoRE =<br />
[[file:UpdateAlert.png]]<BR><br />
When you see the alert that there is a new version available or that your smartapps are not the same version then you will need to update the webCoRE code. This has a few benefits besides being on the latest and greatest version. It is best to keep webCoRE up to date because bugs are constantly getting squashed and new features added with each version. This will make troubleshooting easier when you are running into issues and seeking help. Lastly SmartThings keeps the most used SmartApps in their cache which means quicker response times on your pistons. <br />
<br />
For those of you with gitHub integration this is a quick and painless process. If you manually installed then it is a similar process as before. Either way updating only takes a few minutes of your time. <br />
<br />
== GitHub ==<br />
#Log into the SmartThings IDE<br />
#Select My SmartApps<br />
#*You will see all the webCoRE SmartApps listed in a purple color<br />
#Click update from Repo<br />
#Select webCoRE(Master)<br />
#*In the Obsolete column you will see the 4 webCoRE SmartApps<br />
#Select all 4 checkboxes<br />
#Click the publish checkbox<br />
#Click Execute Update<br />
<br />
== Manual Update == <br />
This requires a little bit more work than gitHub integration but still will only take a few moments. Visit the links below and copy and paste the new raw code over the obsolete code then publish and execute update.<br />

= General =<br />
The ''web Community's own Rule Engine'' (or for short, webCoRE) is a general rule engine for SmartThings. It works by allowing users to create scripts that are interpreted and executed by the SmartThings SmartApp, allowing for complex decisions. webCoRE is currently a work in progress. webCoRE reached the first Beta milestone on April 29, 2017. <br />
<br />
Currently webCoRE is in the Second Beta milestone as of June 7th, 2017. Lots of bugs have been squashed and several new features have been implemented. <br />
<br />
Please review the [[webCoRE todo]] list for a loose road map.<br />
<br />

{{:Glossary}}<br />
<br />
= Getting started =<br />
A few steps need to be completed before you can use webCoRE. First, webCoRE needs to be installed in your SmartThings account, then automations need to be configured. These are called [[Piston|pistons]] and will be detailed later. So let's start by installing webCoRE, please follow the steps below. <br />
<br />
Please be sure to read through all the instructions. If you are still getting stuck then check the troubleshooting sections. Should you still have problems then please feel free to ask for some help on the SmartThings Forums. Be sure to find the latest webCoRE help post.<br />
<br />

==Installing webCoRE==<br />
# Open the SmartThings app on your mobile device.<br />
# 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'''.<br />
# Tap the '''SmartApps''' header at the top of the page.<br />
# Scroll down and tap '''My Apps'''.<br />
# 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.<br />
# Tap '''Next'''.<br />
# 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.'')<br />
# Choose a password and expiration length then tap '''Next'''.<br />
# 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.<br />
# Tap '''Next'''.<br />
# Tap '''Done'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Opening the new dashboard from your phone==<br />
# From within the SmartThings app, tap the Automations icon at the bottom of the screen and select the SmartApps section.<br />
# 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.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==Using webCoRE from another browser==<br />
You cannot bookmark the URL you launched from the SmartThing app. In order to use webCoRE on another device you must follow these instructions.<br />
<br />
# From within the SmartThings app, tap the '''Automations''' icon at the bottom of the screen and select the '''SmartApps''' section.<br />
# 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.<br />
# 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.<br />
#: [[File:Register-browser.png|Register a Browser]] [[File:Register-browser-code.png|Register a Browser]]<br />
# On your other device, open the browser and visit <i>[https://webcore.co/re webcore.co/re]</i><br />
# Enter the code and click '''Register'''.<br />
# You will be prompted to enter the security password, the same password you created when you installed webCoRE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
= Updating webCoRE =<br />
[[file:UpdateAlert.png]]<BR><br />
When you see the alert that there is a new version available or that your smartapps are not the same version then you will need to update the webCoRE code. This has a few benefits besides being on the latest and greatest version. It is best to keep webCoRE up to date because bugs are constantly getting squashed and new features added with each version. This will make troubleshooting easier when you are running into issues and seeking help. Lastly SmartThings keeps the most used SmartApps in their cache which means quicker response times on your pistons. <br />
<br />
For those of you with gitHub integration this is a quick and painless process. If you manually installed then it is a similar process as before. Either way updating only takes a few minutes of your time. <br />
<br />
== GitHub ==<br />
#Log into the SmartThings IDE<br />
#Select My SmartApps<br />
#*You will see all the webCoRE SmartApps listed in a purple color<br />
#Click update from Repo<br />
#Select webCoRE(Master)<br />
#*In the Obsolete column you will see the 4 webCoRE SmartApps<br />
#Select all 4 checkboxes<br />
#Click the publish checkbox<br />
#Click Execute Update<br />
<br />
== Manual Update == <br />
This requires a little bit more work than gitHub integration but still will only take a few moments. Visit the links below and copy and paste the new raw code over the obsolete code then publish and execute update.<br />

<br />
== Update Complete ==<br />
That is all you have to do. Your webCoRE instance's are now up to date. However if you have multiple locations(hubs) then you will need to do this for each location(hub).<br />
<br />
=Troubleshooting=<br />
Here are some common troubleshooting things to try if you are having issues with the following categories<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
[[File:500error.png|frameless|400px]]<br><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
==General==<br />

#Open The SmartThings App<br />
#Go into settings<br />
#Click the map location<br />
#Move the pin on the map around<br />

=Sample Pistons=<br />
This section has some user contributed sample pistons. You can import any of these pistons using the import code displayed at the top of the piston.<br />
# [[Samples]]<br />
<br />
= Understanding the basics =<br />
webCoRE is comprised of the three main components listed below.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE child SmartApp (''webCoRE Piston'') ==<br />
The webCoRE child SmartApp is also known as a [[Piston|piston]]. It is responsible for executing the automation script that the user creates and does the heavy lifting in the whole webCoRE ecosystem. It is directly managed by the webCoRE parent SmartApp, which can create, maintain, and delete a Piston.<br />
<br />
== The webCoRE parent SmartApp (''webCoRE'') ==<br />
The wabCoRE parent SmartApp is the component responsible for managing the child SmartApp instances and their relationship with the Dashboard. It is the middle man that allows adding new Pistons, maintaining them, or deleting them. It is also responsible with the security of the whole ecosystem, allowing password secured access from the Dashboard.<br />
<br />
== The [[Dashboard|dashboard]] ==<br />
The Dashboard is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML] interface for webCoRE that allows users to manage their webCoRE installation. It is the central hub to controlling webCoRE, allowing the user to create, modify, test, and delete Pistons.<br />
<br />
=Anatomy of a webCoRE Piston=<br />
::''Main article [[Piston]]''<br />
A piston is a script that contains a collection of elements, arranged so that the logic and flow of the piston perform tasks in a desired sequence. It is broken down into several sections, each having its own important role.<br />
<br />
//todo: most details below need to be moved into the main article<br />
<br />
==The ''settings'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show piston settings</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
These settings allows configuration of how certain aspects of the piston function. <br />
<br />
[[file:pistonsettings.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Name''' - Change the name of a piston.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the piston does.<br />
*'''Automatic piston state''' - Change whether the piston handles it state or make it manual and you can control the piston's state.<br />
*'''Piston execution parallelism''' - //todo<br />
*'''Condition traversal optimizations''' - //todo<br />
*'''Event subscriptions''' - Allow event subscriptions or turn them off if you would like to make the piston a follow up style piston. If you disable this then you must have some other means for the piston to be fired.<br />
*'''Command execution delay''' - A delay in milliseconds for commands to be executed piston wide.<br />
<br />
==The ''define'' section==<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show variables</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
A very powerful feature of webCoRE is the ability to use [[Variable|variables]]. Think of variables as temporary pockets where you can store information and are able to later retrieve and use this information for any purpose. This information can be used either during the current piston run, or at a later time, when another event occurs.<br />
<br />
[[file:pistondefine.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
*'''Type''' - You can select from the different [[Variable_data_types|Variable Data Types]] for you variable.<br />
*'''Name''' - This is the empty box next to the type. Enter a name for your variable.<br />
*'''Initial value''' - This is defaulted to <code>Nothing selected</code>. If you decide to give it an initial value then that value will be used at each piston run regardless of what is stored in later piston runs.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the variable is used for.<br />
<br />
==The ''execute'' section==<br />
This section describes the piston's logic flow. This is the starting point of most executions. Whenever a device event happens, the piston starts its execution here. To get started click on <code>Add a new statement</code><br />
<br />
[[file:executesimple.png|frameless|500px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
These are you 3 basic building blocks with their description listed below them. There are several more options to choose from aside from these three. In order to gain access to these you will again have to visit that trusty options menu in the top right hand corner and select <code>Show advanced statments</code><br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
After you do this and you click on <code>Add a new statement</code> you will now have access to all the available statement options.<br />

== General ==<br />
The ''web Community's own Rule Engine'' (or for short, webCoRE) is a general rule engine for SmartThings. It works by allowing users to create scripts that are interpreted and executed by the SmartThings SmartApp, allowing for complex decisions. webCoRE is currently a work in progress. webCoRE reached the first Beta milestone on April 29, 2017 (version v0.1.097.20170429) Please review the [[webCoRE todo]] list.<br />
<br />
== Video Introduction ==<br />
<br />
<youtube>https://youtu.be/jgXA_rv2-_8</youtube><br />
<br />
== Getting started ==<br />
A few steps need to be completed before you can use webCoRE. First, webCoRE needs to be installed in your SmartThings account, then automations need to be configured. These are called [[Piston|pistons]] and will be detailed later. So let's start by installing webCoRE, please follow the 5 steps below.<br />
<br />
== Installing webCoRE ==<br />
You must complete all of these steps.<br />
<br />
# [[GitHub Install]] or [[Manual Install]] of webCoRE source code into the SmartThings Cloud<br />
# [[Enable webCoRE OAuth]] in the SmartThings cloud<br />
# [[Install webCoRE]] in the SmartThings mobile app<br />
# [[Enabling webCoRE dashboard]]<br />
# [[Enable webCoRE on Another Device]]<br />
<br />
== Understanding the basics ==<br />
webCoRE is comprised of the three main components listed below.<br />
<br />
=== The webCoRE child SmartApp (''webCoRE Piston'') ===<br />
The webCoRE child SmartApp is also known as a [[Piston|piston]]. It is responsible for executing the automation script that the user creates and does the heavy lifting in the whole webCoRE ecosystem. It is directly managed by the webCoRE parent SmartApp, which can create, maintain, and delete a Piston.<br />
<br />
=== The webCoRE parent SmartApp (''webCoRE'') ===<br />
The wabCoRE parent SmartApp is the component responsible for managing the child SmartApp instances and their relationship with the Dashboard. It is the middle man that allows adding new Pistons, maintaining them, or deleting them. It is also responsible with the security of the whole ecosystem, allowing password secured access from the Dashboard.<br />
<br />
=== The [[Dashboard|dashboard]] ===<br />
The Dashboard is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML] interface for webCoRE that allows users to manage their webCoRE installation. It is the central hub to controlling webCoRE, allowing the user to create, modify, test, and delete Pistons.<br />
<br />
==Anatomy of a webCoRE Piston==<br />
::''Main article [[Piston]]''<br />
A piston is a script that contains a collection of elements, arranged so that the logic and flow of the piston perform tasks in a desired sequence. It is broken down into several sections, each having its own important role.<br />
<br />
//todo: most details below need to be moved into the main article<br />
<br />
===The ''settings'' section===<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show piston settings</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
These settings allows configuration of how certain aspects of the piston function. <br />
<br />
[[file:pistonsettings.png]]<br />
<br />
*'''Name''' - Change the name of a piston.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the piston does.<br />
*'''Automatic piston state''' - Change whether the piston handles it state or make it manual and you can control the piston's state.<br />
*'''Piston execution parallelism''' - //todo<br />
*'''Condition traversal optimizations''' - //todo<br />
*'''Event subscriptions''' - Allow event subscriptions or turn them off if you would like to make the piston a follow up style piston. If you disable this then you must have some other means for the piston to be fired.<br />
*'''Command execution delay''' - A delay in milliseconds for commands to be executed piston wide.<br />
<br />
===The ''define'' section===<br />
This menu is accessed from the piston editor. In the upper right hand corner select options and then enable <code>Show variables</code><br />
<br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
A very powerful feature of webCoRE is the ability to use [[Variable|variables]]. Think of variables as temporary pockets where you can store information and are able to later retrieve and use this information for any purpose. This information can be used either during the current piston run, or at a later time, when another event occurs.<br />
<br />
[[file:pistondefine.png]]<br />
<br />
*'''Type''' - You can select from the different [[Variable Data Types|Variable_data_types]] for you variable.<br />
*'''Name''' - This is the empty box next to the type. Enter a name for your variable.<br />
*'''Initial value''' - This is defaulted to <code>Nothing selected</code>. If you decide to give it an initial value then that value will be used at each piston run regardless of what is stored in later piston runs.<br />
*'''Description''' - Give a description of what the variable is used for.<br />
<br />
===The ''execute'' section===<br />
This section describes the piston's logic flow. This is the starting point of most executions. Whenever a device event happens, the piston starts its execution here. To get started click on <code>Add a new statement</code><br />
<br />
[[file:executesimple.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
These are you 3 basic building blocks with their description listed below them. There are several more options to choose from aside from these three. In order to gain access to these you will again have to visit that trusty options menu in the top right hand corner and select <code>Show advanced statments</code><br />
<br />
[[file:pistonoptions.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
After you do this and you click on <code>Add a new statement</code> you will now have access to all the available statement options.<br />
<br />
[[file:executeadvanced.png]]<br />
<br />
==Other Details==<br />
# [[webCore Logging]]<br />
# [[Functions]]<br />
# [[Expressions]]<br />
<br />
== Creating your first piston ==<br />
<br />
Once you finished the installation steps above, let's go ahead and create the first piston, the famous [[Hello World!|Hello World]].<br />
<br />
==Sample Pistons==<br />
This section has some user contributed sample pistons. You can import any of these pistons using the import code displayed at the top of the piston.<br />
