[Share rules] Getting started - how to share rules 

Ambiency is an app for PROTA that bridges different smart devices and web services to create automation rules customized for each individuals.

With great rules, your experience with Ambiency will not be the same any more.

Your rules are your experiences, and your rules can change how people are experiencing automation at home or work. What do I mean? Your automation rules can be shared, shared in a way that you’ve probably never experienced before, with image files like png. The image itself becomes your buttons for Likes, Twits, Follows, or Pins that can be shared instantly on your blogs, emails, postings, or any other means of digital communication tools. Since it’s in the form of an image file, it can even be copied or stored in the folders of your harddisk. Photo of yourself will even be the key to specific automation(* supported in future).

How do I share rules?

1. Activate sharing!

Activate sharing with a click!

2. Choose an option!

Note however that in order to apply the rule image to your PROTA, you must be able to access your PROTA from the smartphone or notebook you’re trying to apply with.

 (1) iframe source (option 1)

(Image file shared via iframe. Drag and drop the file onto your PROTA Ambiency!)

Publish on your blogs and websites just like any other pictures!

They can be dragged and dropped onto Ambiency of your PROTA.

If you hope to share your rules including all the details, share them on blogs, forums, or websites via iframe. It won’t be just the rules that will be shared but also their rule names and descriptions along with the rules themselves.

 (2) URL (option 2)

(Your PROTA must stay on to apply rules by clicking the this link!)

One of the easiest way to share your rules is by sharing with an URL.

Copy & Paste and you're done!

If you’re applying your rule, click the URL in the link below to import the rule to your PROTA.

ex. Weather & Pushbullet rule

(Clicking the link above will import the rule on your PROTA)

 (3) image download (option 3)

(Drag and drop the image file just like in the Option 1.)

Just like the first option of sharing your rule above, rules can be applied with a drag and drop. If you wish to share rules, export them and upload them on blogs, forums, or SNS. If you wish to apply rules, import them by a simple drag and drop onto Ambiency of your PROTA.

Now try with the above rule!

And share!

사용자가 스마트 디바이스와 웹 서비스를 연결하여
자동화 규칙을 생성하는 엠비언시(ambiency).

앞으로 사용자분들이 엠비언시를 더 유용하게 쓸 수 있도록
굉장한 룰(ruel)들을 공유해드리려고 합니다.

아직 엠비언시에 대해 잘 모르고 계셨던 분들은 아래의 링크들을 참조해주시구요 :)

What is ambiency?

How to use ambiency app?

저희 NARAN 뿐만 아니라 많은 분들이 자신의 유용한 룰을 많은 사람들에게 알릴 수 있도록
이번 포스팅에서는 공유 기능의 사용법을 알려드리려고 해요.
정말 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 기능이니 공유의 즐거움을 느끼시길 바랄게요!


How to share rules?


1. 공유 활성화!

공유를 위해 활성화 버튼 클릭!

2. 공유 방법 선택하기!

모든 공유 방법은 한 가지의 공통점을 가지고 있어요!
공유 방식에 따라 형태는 다르겠지만,
공유된 결과를 가져가고 싶은 사람은 같은 네트워크에 자신의 프로타(PROTA)가 켜져 있어야 합니다!


 (1) iframe 소스

(iframe 소스로 공유한 이미지입니다. 여러분의 프로타에 드래그&드롭 해보세요!)

가장 추천드리는 방법입니다!
룰 이미지를 드래그&드롭 하여 자신의 프로타(PROTA) 엠비언시(ambiency) 첫 화면에 놓으면 자동으로 공유됩니다!

iframe 소스를 통해 다른 게시판 혹은 블로그에 게시할 경우
'rule image'와 함께 'rule name', 'rule description'을 함께 게시할 수 있습니다!
자신의 룰을 다른 사람에게 상세하게 소개할 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법인거죠.


 (2) URL

(여러분의 프로타가 켜져 있는 상태로 이 링크를 클릭하면 룰이 공유됩니다!)

쉬운 공유 방법 중 하나인 URL 공유입니다.
Copy & Paste 끝!

공유받으시는 분들은 URL 링크만 누르면 자신의 프로타에 룰이 import 됩니다!

ex. Weather & Pushbullet rule
(위 링크를 클릭하시면 프로타 유저는 룰이 import 됩니다!)

 (3) image download

(1번 방법과 똑같이 이 룰 이미지를 드래그&드롭 해보세요!)

1번과 비슷한 형태로 공유를 하게 됩니다.
룰(rule)을 공유하고자 하는 사람(export)은 자신이 올리고 싶은 채널(sns, board, blog 등)에 이미지를 업로드하고, 그것을 공유받고자 하는 사람(import)은 이미지를 그대로 드래그하여 자신의 프로타 엠비언시 앱 페이지에 드롭하면 됩니다!

연습으로 한 번 공유해 보세요!
아래에 세 가지의 방법으로 자동화 룰들을 게시해봤습니다!

그럼 모두 Share rules!

[Casual hacking] GPIO app PROJECT 1 : Traffic lights

[Casual hacking] GPIO app PROJECT 1 : Traffic lights

What is GPIO app PROJECT?

GPIO app PROJECT is automation projects created with GPIO ports of Raspberry Pi and apps for PROTA. The result is simple. Programming is building a logical formulation that executes specific operation using computer language. The combination of the two elements, GPIO and PROTA apps, give users a chance to build for themselves logical, working products, that we believe is an user-defined programming, that they can experience in just a couple of steps.

(Users can simply program in a couple of steps using GPIO by choosing sensors on the top and actuators on the bottom.)

Projects may vary depends on the combination of the apps. To start off, you’ll be able to grasp the basic idea of the GPIO app by following the instructions below.

---

PROJECT 1 : Traffic lights

Have a look at the above two rules. By simply selecting and defining conditions that users desire, a formulation of traffic lights can be built in just three steps.

If you still have a hard time grasping the idea of Ambiency, please check out the link below.

[Quick & Dirty guide] Automation solution, Ambiency tutorial. Why not make your own rule?

[Quick & Dirty guide] Make an image file of Ambiency rule!

1. How to setup pins on the breadboard, LED, and webcam

Wire LED to GPIO pins 17 and 27.

2. Set up the GPIO app

Set the values of the above pins on the UI.

The saved values on this app becomes the source values when creating automation rules on Ambiency. Please click Remember & Save button to save.

3. Create automation rules!

Create two rules like the following by choosing the source values you've created in the above steps on the GPIO app.

• 1st Rule

• Sensor app - Webcam app
  Trigger - "Motion detected : Edge rising"
• Actuator app - GPIO app
  Action - "Write value : GPIO $pin : Write=1" & "Write value : GPIO %pin : Write=0"
• If motion detected is interrupted on Webcam -> write value 1 in the output of $pin on GPIO(app) to turn on a LED -> write value 0 in the output of %pin to turn off a LED.
• As a result, the rule turns on the green and turns off the red traffic lights on motion detection for pedestrian signals.

• 2nd Rule

• Sensor app - Webcam app
  Trigger - "No motion : Edge falling"
• Actuator app - GPIO app
  Action - "Write value : on GPIO $pin : Write=0" & "Write value : on GPIO %pin : Write=1"
• If No motion on Webcam -> write value 0 in the output of $pin on GPIO to turn off a LED -> write value 1 in the output of %pin on GPIO to turn on a LED.
• As a result, the rule turns off the green and turns on the red traffic lights on no motion for pedestrian signals.

4. Test and find out in History!

In this session, you’ve just created a working traffic lights by creating rules with GPIO. As shown in the first picture, there’re many combinations of rules that can be created with GPIO and other apps.

Please check out other projects you can try out in the coming sessions.

Thank you.
