Hi! Thanks for a great app! Would it be possible to implement an option to switch icons for the virtual devices?
Do you mean the icon of the virtual device?
Hold the icon, click right upper corner - settings, change icon, change the icon and save it.
Would it possible to allow target_temperature to have decimal values? It now doesnât seem to accept values like 36.5. Even the half degree steps would be enough.
I have a flow that takes target temperature from an other device, then subtract 1.5 from it to have a new target_temperature to be set in a virtual device. Now when values is xx.5 that gets rejected and the flow fails.
Rounding the value does not help, since it is then in full degrees, and not degrees with decimal. It actually is a big difference in my use case the half degree.
Why donât you even try first, @OH2TH âŚ
This really rounds the input and outputs it in 0.5 steps:
This f.i. rounds to 1 decimal:
{{round([variable] ,1)}}
Or, round to 2 decimals:
{{round([variable] ,2))}}
I have the rounding and the value is what is expected, the issue is that the virtual deviceâs target_temperature does not accept it. It says:
Which says, that the valu must be in 1 degree steps. Where can I set stepping to 0.5 instead of 1?
Thatâs unfortunately only settable when creating a virtual thermostat.
So the best you can do is to rename the current virtual device to âŚ-OLD or something, and create a new replacement virtual device for it, and replace it where necessary in your flows and such.
Ah indeed it is there. Need to rethink the setup then. Thanks

Is there a replacement for the multi-mode device ?
Is there a replacement for the multi-mode device ?
TL;DR not in the VD app and otherwise also not that I know of
When Homey moved to V2, some parts of the Multi-Mode was no longer working. I didnât find a solution, so I disabled adding new Multi-Modes since then.
Hello,
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.
Thank you.
I was trying to create virtual devices, fridge freezer for example, devices that arenât smart or connected but that do use power and have an approximate value of power use. Canât figure out how to add a power value
Hi There,
Is there a way to make some preset buttons to trigger flows?
Example: I make a custom virtual device like a 4x4 Video Matrix in my case. In the options of the virtual device I would like to have some âpresetâ buttons to route the matrix. Like set input 2 to output 4. I want to have toggle buttons and donât need any response. I know its possible to play the flow with those commands but it is not so nice on the interface.
Now its possible to rename the Virtual Device and itâs icon but is is also possible to rename a function and itâs icon. And add custom functions as many as you want? Or more buttons than one?
Maybe itâs a feature request but I think this would be very handy.
Let me know!
Youâll need to run a one time flow, with this action card;
At âsensorâ, enter measure_power
At âvalueâ, just enter the power value

Thank you so much, that worked straight away. I have to assume I missed instructions somewhere

Have looked back at Virtual Devices | virtual-devices (arjankranenburg.github.io) and now it makes sense. Feeling a bit stupid but all good, thanks again

When adding a VD âlightâ with either Hue/Color Temp/Saturation, I am missing flowcards to actual use those functions. Any one else noticed this?
Situation: using a VD to control multiple Philips Hue GU10 lights.
On/Off & dimming works fine, but no option to control temperature via flowcards
thank you.
Perhaps < group > is a better app to do this. 
Make sure you select all the color related capabilities:
Color temperature
Hue
Color Saturation
Light mode (mandatory when selecting color and color temperature)
Brightness
On/off
And the right class at the start:
Light
But I guess in your situation, yes < group > would be better.
