Hi, I’m using an advanced flow to collect the waterpressure variable via an API to my heathpump. I then push that to the virtual device via the category ‘sensor’. It works but my only problem is that it gives the presure in integers, whereas the API/flow gives a double with two decimals. Is there a way I can alter my virtual device to a double with integers as well? ---

Consider using the newer [advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198). It’s a virtual device on steroids so to speak It is very flexible ! > ![Screenshot_20240508-003258_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/6/d6bb68a31f684f294a637306b5d0ae45d5701f8f.jpeg) You even don’t need flows to reflect a value from a device ---
