Has anyone created a virtual switch that can be used to drive automaton. I tried but the virtual switch doesn’t seem to work. Please share if there is a work around to drive automations between the two. Thanks for ideas.

You want a virtual button so you can use it to trigger a flow?

Use the Virtual Device app or an Advanced Virtual Devices from the Device Capabilities app.

Or explain in more detail what you want 😅😉
