## Important Note:

This app is no longer updated. It works how it works.

My last update was 15 months ago and facing reality: Homey is developing much quicker than I can keep up. With the new release of Homey Bridge and support for TypeScript, it makes sense to start from scratch and create a new Virtual Devices v2 app that follows the latest standards.

That won’t be me, though. I have different interests. Perhaps in the future…, but no, don’t wait for that.

Feel free to take the name, the ideas and even parts of the code. In fact I would like that very much.

I can advice to create several apps:

- 1 App for pure Virtual Devices, supporting only the capabilities provided by Athom
- 1 App for sensors, with the freedom to combine multiple (sensor-)capabilities into 1 app
- 1 App for modes, maybe give the multi-mode a new try
- Specific apps for specific request. E.g. Garage doors, Swimming pools, etc.

Thanks for all the compliments, questions, and help.

With kind regards,

Arjan

Virtual Devices can simulate anything without using an actual interface. Well… of course within the limits that Homey provides.
