Is it possible to add the capability `alarm_water` to the sensor device? I want to make a virtual flood sensor, but this capability is missing. thx in advance ---

How can i change the value of a virtual camera ? For motion for exemple ? Thanks. ---

Hi, I even didn’t know a virtual cam existed 🤪 Set the motion alarm: Reset the motion alarm: Trigger for virtual motion alarm: Here you can find the [capabilities of your devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) ---

I need some help… ☹ I have curtains that I control via infrared (via harmony hub). Now I have created a virtual device with which I can control the curtains Device on. curtains closed Device off. Curtains open I already made this device when virtual devices could not use so many different classes. I also use google home and now have to say curtains on / off. I prefer to say curtains open/close. So I created a new virtual device with the class curtains. My button on the curtains works within homey, only google knows does not find this device. How can I solve this so that I can just say: Curtains open/close ---

Create a routine in Ghome, and make sure it listens to: hey doodle, open curtain X. Then let that routine trigger your curtain button .off on Homey and the other way round for “close” ---

Question, I’ve a rollershutter which doesn’t provide the exact position, or to be more precise, it only provides going down, going up, inactive, bottom & top. So the intermediate position is missing. Are there any tipps how to display and use the position of a rollershutter VD? The issue is mainly on the positioning screen, e.g. if I choose 20% I don’t know what to do but it’s choosable in the app. That’s strange from UI point of view and nobody understand that you have to choose either 100% or 0% and anything else is forbidden. However the position (top/down) is helpful as you know where the rollershuter stands, even tough the intermediate states are missing. That’s the reason why I want to display them. EDIT: so at the end, is it somehow possible to have a limited positioning screen? I only need Top/Down/50% (which stands for somewhere in between 100 & 0%). Ah and optionally a information that the rollershutter is running would be great to 🙂 , but that’s really optional. ---

Hi. Is it possible to create a virtual sensor device and add multiple temperature readings in it? I want one virtual device on my home screen with temperature readings for multiple rooms. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/1/e1cf9f717cd64a9b6f4428709bb4f40107690140.png) ---

Unfortunately that is not possible. You have to create a separate virtual device for each room. You can only summarize several temperatures (App “groups”) and, for example, display the average temperature. ---

Not with 3 x the word ‘Temperature’ Then it is possible, for the web app only (big tile view) I created a virtual sensor, and selected Temperature, Humidity(luchtvochtigheid) and Windgust angle (Windstoot richting). Why those? They have the least ‘strange’ extension compared to °C, and they can display a “standard” temperature range. So, from top to bottom you see the temperature of my: -Fridge -Freezer -Kitchen ![Screenshot_20210914-191841_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/8/58794a41565abbdd047c69fe465e58f84e35edbf.jpeg) 3 Flows for setting each individual temperature: ---

Thanks! That’s smart, and one way to do it 🙂 But to get the wife and kids to understand the difference between temperature in room 1 and 2 is maybe not so easy in 1-2 months ahead 😃 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d5ebaf87112c08efe7c6a8f0ed6ebc428493e28.png) ---

Haha, thanks. I just thought, you could rename the device as [Room1 Room2 Room3] for instance, and display them from top to bottom. ![fridgfreezkitchen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/1/91dea59a7d4542f1ced69fc84c02596394ae5ecf.png) But the km/h indicator should go 🤣 But I get your point. Maybe Arjan, the dev, can add sensor ‘Temperature2’ and ‘Temperature3’ one day. 🙃 ---

Using a volume slider is kinda possible, but won’t work very well imho. It sends only 1 command at a time, which is: step up (or down) to the IR blaster. For a Tuya wifi2IR unit, I’ve created a Vol+ and a Vol- virtual knob to control my receiver ![yamaha IR vol UP](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/6/06d46396b032cc99bc7bc0e12342b7ef00c77ac5.png) .
