I actually have the same question as this post. Is this possible with webCoRE? I feel like webCoRE could be more efficient than the ecobee in doing something like this.

webCoRE absolutely can handle it and handles it better than the ecobee (imho) because webCoRE has access to all of your available temperature sensors as opposed to ecobee only having access to its main unit(s) and attached sensor(s) (if you have any).
What I do is a calculation of what the outside temperature is going to be 4 hours out and then take a reading of all my temperature sensors indoors and calculate an average indoor temp. I then have a nested if statement that sets the target temp based upon what the outside temp is supposed to be, what the average indoor temp is and time of day.
Pseudo code (I’m at work, so I can’t paste my piston right now):
if forecastedTempOutside >= 80 and indoorTemp <= 76 and timeOfDay is morning
then set ecobeeTargetTemp = 74
