Create IoT Automation Using SmartThings New Rules API
summary
Creates automations by sending a JSON DSL to the SmartThings behaviors API that runs on SmartThings cloud today and will run on hub firmware for local execution on hub. Uses PAT or OAuth, queries /locations and /devices for device IDs, then posts a behavior with if/then/else, every/sleep and command actions (example: contact sensor open -> switch on, or setColor with color map). Engine is a Rust evaluator, nesting limit forthcoming (tentatively 10–50); demos run successfully.
