Sorry, im not clear on what you want.
Do you want a virtual device to show a few of pbth values?
If so, you can set values of the AVDs through flowcards.
Depends which way, this is whatâs possible for both?

Hi!
Iâd like to create a virtual home alarm device, but it can not be added to homekit via Homeykit app. Iâve tried it with the old virtual devices app, it goes well and seemingly there are capability differences between these virtual deives under developer web access.
Is there any chance to make it compatible with HomeKit?

Put the create Flow cards to true for the capabilities you want to see.
Which capabilities do you need?

Heimdalls Surveillance Mode switch is integrated with Homekits alarm settings when using @robertklepâs Homeykit app. Are you trying to build an Alarm system on your homey without using Heimdall or not using the Homeykit app?

Hi Arie,
Some of my triggers with an advanced device wonât work. Iâve tried to make a timeline notification without a condition, but didnât work either.
Also one text device instead of all texts wonât work (or all booleans).

Hey Arjen,
Thanks for reporting!
To be honest, the All [âŚ] options should not be shown here.
You cannot have a trigger for multiple changes, because there is no way (currently) to set multiple values at once.
The All [âŚ] belongs to the Set value cards.
Iâll remove it.
Almost every trigger isnât working. Only when button is set is working (not changed).
What is the difference between set and changed? (I donât know or this is used as translation for English, my homey is in dutch).

Hi!
Thanks for prompt response!
I think these are what make this virtual device ready to be exposed to HomeKit by HomeyKit.

Iâd like to add my old Paradox alarm system, with IP150 module and some MQTT tricks⌠but I also would like to say to Siri that âdisarm security systemâ or âarm security systemâ

Create an Button field, set it to onoff and the Create Flow Cards checkbox to true. Then it should show up!
Hey Arjen, if you set the value through a flowcard (and not through the Homey App), make sure you select the last argument in the Set Value cards: execute flow(when) cards.
Sorry, It was my mistake. I didnât notice the argument âset value cardsâ. It works great for me!
Is there a difference with value is set and value is changed, because when value is changed wonât do anything.

Wel, if you use a flowcard and set a number with value 21 to 21; the Value Changed should not trigger, the Value set should trigger.

A Home Alarm isnât just an onoff device⌠it has states as you can see on screenshot.

A mode capability is a fixed definition in Homey. You canât change/set the mode states dynamically. Thatâs why such a mode capability is not present in the app.

You could still install Heimdall and add the Surveillance Mode device and configure nothing else in Heimdall
See if it the Surveillance Mode shows up in Homekit and check if your Siri commands changes the Surveillance Mode switchâs state in Homey.
If so you can use a flowcard from the Surveillance Mode switch as a trigger.
May be a bit of overkill to use Heimdall for this, but if it works, it works.

I understand that, but i also see a clear real OnOff capability. As in, a real recoqnised capability.
In AVD, to simulate that, you need to turn on the checkbox Create Flow Cards, for each capability that you want to see in HomeyKit.
Perhaps maybe also a class is needed to be set, im not sure, depends on the app.
If your device is not recoqnised, please send me the TEF of the AVD.
Afaik, any AVD with the âreal capabilitiesâ, or, default capabilitites with CreateFlowCards on, should be recognised by any app or connected services looking for those device, like OnOff, measure, dim, etc.
