This can be done with an Advanced Virtual Device (AVD) of the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/test/) app.

For more information about how to create an AVD, please have a look at the [[APP][Pro] Advanced Virtual Device (Device Capabilities App) with Unique Text Status Indicator](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) topic.
