[APP][Pro] Virtual Devices - Virtual Devices to simulate 1 or more real devices

Look at the AVD Template for Unique Text Status Indicator on Device Tile

@Aron_s-Gravemade

it’s icon but is is also possible to rename a function and it’s icon. And add custom functions as many as you want? Or more buttons than one?

Take a look at the AVD Template: Changing a button/field name through flows
It also shows the custom icon you can pick for a list of 80 custom icons, that you can set to any default icon or your own!

@Geoffrey_Quiroz,

@Geoffrey_Quiroz

I would like to make a virtual device that can display the same type of variables several times, in order to have a return in one box of several variables or sensors, and if possible to be able to put a personal name.

Yes you can, see the AVD of DC.

@OH2TH,

@OH2TH

Ah indeed it is there. Need to rethink the setup then. Thanks

Take a look at the AVD of DC; you can add and change fields whenever, and set the decimals, min/max and step just how you want it!

@Bonden

Hi! Thanks for a great app! Would it be possible to implement an option to switch icons for the virtual devices?

Hey @Bonden , take a look at the AVD’s of the DC App.
Not only can you change a device icon after creation, you can alter the field/capability icons just how you like it.
Take a look at the AVD Template for Living Room Example, it has three nice custom icons.
Well, maybe the icons are not that nice, but you can even upload your own icon!

@Heula

What I want is a virtual device that is visible on or off with a luminance value.

Hey @Heula, take a look at the App Device Capabilities, it has an Advanced Virtual Device that you can configure anywhich way you want!

@nytro

Did anyone manage to do such thing ? any advice .

Hey @nytro , with the AVD from DC you can! There are flow cards (which you can execute from HS i guess ) with which you can set values!

@Arjan-21

Let’s say I making a virtual sensor. And use power (kWh) and I want to have more than one inside this. Is there a possibility to get more than 1 of the same inside a device?

@Arjan-21 , yes you can, with AVD from DC!

@Bulletcather

I want to use these buttons.

Hey @Bulletcather , did you figure this out? If not, you can with the AVD’s from DC!

@Peter_Kawa

So, from top to bottom you see the temperature of my:
-Fridge
-Freezer
-Kitchen

Haha nice one! But i guess/hope you have allready changed this now you have a beter way?

@MatsHansen

Hi.
Is it possible to create a virtual sensor device and add multiple temperature readings in it?

@MatsHansen , yes you can now! You can add as many as you want and you can give it custom names and units even!

@R5Turbo

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.

Hey @R5Turbo, i don’t now if you are still looking for a way, but i just created an AVD for you: Slider with 3 steps (0%, 50% and 100%).

These Advanced Virtual Devices can be easily created:

• Install Device Capabilities App voor Homey | Homey.
• Or install Device Capabilities App voor Homey | Homey. (but it has a bug, see below)
• Create a new AVD.
• Select the mentioned Template and press use Template.
