Hello Particle Community!

Big news: as of 12pm PT today we’ve rolled out a new feature called Logic. It’s in beta, so we recommend using it for non-production projects right now. The beta is available to all Sandbox users, you can access it via the Logic icon on the sidebar of your console. 

What is Logic?

• JavaScript functions that run when triggered by Particle events or scheduled times.
• Runs in the cloud, so you can update it without updating your firmware.

Current Beta Limitations:

• Available only in the developer sandbox.
• Limit of 20 Logic Functions per sandbox.
• Maximum 5 triggers per function and 30 seconds execution time.
• Run logs kept: 100 per function.

Uses:

• Decode and decompress data in the cloud, expanding your publishes to integrations beyond the 1024-byte limit.
• Trigger more complex processes than what’s possible with webhooks alone.
• Translate events from older firmware to newer cloud services, or vice versa, which gives you a cloud-based compatibility layer.

Try it out today! If you have any questions or feedback let us know in this thread. We’re eager to hear your thoughts!
