Surely this is possible, and it already exists. Please have a look at OpenHAB. They are using Xtext to describe advanced automation rules, items end other things.

Hi, welcome to Xtext. i recommend you to do the tutorials in the documentation and come back if you have questions.
if you want to give it a deeper dive i recommend you lorenzo bettinis "Implementing Domain-Specific Languages with Xtext and Xtend - Second Edition"

Apart from the possibilities mentioned above, I recommend you to take a look at the Xtext Examples shipped with the Xtext frameworks.
You can find an overview about these examples under:
1. https://blogs.itemis.com/en/eclipse-gef-dot-graphical-views-on-xtext-dsls
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnSVLNYfGlk from the 22:00 minute.
