Don’t think this can be done directly, indirectly you can use a boolean-variable for the state and when changed, update the virtual-device. then you also need a flow that when the virtual-device changes state (unintentional) the state of the virtual-device must be synchronized with the boolean-variable. ---

Just tried a virtual alarm-lamp, when during creating the device, you switch off the ON/OFF capability, then you can not switch it anymore from the touch-screen! Edit: Unfortunately the device is not added to the system ---

Hello! VD is a great app and I idé it alot. But I having issues when I use the mode cards On/Off without trigger, because it trigger. Anyone else having this problem? ---

Don’t understand what you mean. Can you share the flow that gives problems? ---

Sorry for the bad description… Here is the flow. I have a dashboard on a tablet and at this I want to have a VD mode that I can push on to start my vacuum cleaner. So far all set and fine. If I start the vacuum cleaner outside Homey I want the mood to show as activate/inactivate. To do so I need a flow like the one I share below. But when it change it still trigger. [https://homey.app/f/0gGQZt](https://homey.app/f/0gGQZt) Thx! ---

Start the Flow 'with the card ‘the mode is swiched on’ from the ‘pluto stadar’ in devices. ---

Hmm, but that not solve what I want to achieve in this flow/case. This flow shall put the Mode Pluto stadar on active if my vacuum cleaner (Pluto) is started from the mi home app (not app in homey). Or am I stupid. But I’m I wrong that if the mode change through a no trigger card, no other flow built with the mode as trigger will go? ---

Is it possible to include a tile that can be controlled with any number? It would be great to have a tile on the dashboard that shows the number without opening it. I would use something like this to represent logic values. ---

When you make some changes in the driver.js of the app its possible with the virtual thermostat. I set the max to 99. ![20210213_104416_HDR](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/45bb1d3227153688b38fe86dacba0de81e6136b1.jpeg) ---

> [@Oscar\_Strom](#): > > But I having issues when I use the mode cards On/Off without trigger, because it trigger. Anyone else having this problem? A flow can be triggered with the default trigger-cards ‘mode on|off’ or the custom trigger cards: ‘mode is on|off’. They work similar, but there is 1 difference: the custom trigger cards are not triggered when the mode is set in another flow with the action-cards ‘Set mode on|off, no trigger’. So make sure your other flows use the ‘mode is on|off’ trigger-cards. ---

Hi all! First of all: Virtual Devices is now installed and used on more than 10.000 Homeys all over the world. That makes me very proud and I want to thank you all for just using this app. I’ve just uploaded a new version to ‘test’, containing the long asked for use of custom icons and setting the min & max target\_temperature, both upon pairing. > **[Virtuele Apparaten](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.arjankranenburg.virtual/Virtuele-Apparaten/)** > > Virtuele Apparaten om 1 of meerdere apparaten te simuleren And last: I’m very busy with other (non-Homey) projects as well, so I may not respond to issues as quickly as people want. But Pull Requests for fixes or improvements are very welcome and I’m happy to look at that. ---

First of all, thanks for the great app. Would it be possible to extend the range of min & max target\_temperature? Even with the test version of the app, the range is 4 - 35, independent of what I enter during installation. ---

Yeah, thank you very much for the app, it’s awesome 😊. As for suggestions. I d love the heater to have the option to turn on/off as well. On/off can trigger flows. The current button sadly can’t. ---

Same here, range remains 4-35. Would it als be possible to choose the steps? As temperature sensor report steps of 0.5° C in stead of steps of 1° C. Thanks. ---

I think I’ve fixed this as well (in version 0.9.4). If you add a new device with measure\_temperature, you can set the amount of decimals to 1 or 2. Then you can set values like 0.5. Make sure to use a . (not a ,). Let me know if this is what you meant. ---
