I have successfully added a temp sensor to my fibaro universal sensor and I can see the temperature in the room it is in. When I download a temperature monitoring app on Homey it does not pick up this device. How can I do something meaningful with the value like switch heating on or off like normal temperature sensors?? ---

Many thanks but it’s still not showing up in any of the temp sensor apps ---

I did this way: Download Virtual Device app Make a new device Sensor with Temperature capabilities Make a flow that every 120 seconds does the following ! Camere temp is the virtual temp sensor created and Temperature Sensor 2 is the BINARY Temp sensor value ![Screenshot_20200203_130621_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/71ce85acfa995d021f2fb389715c87f2fa062c81.jpeg) So that the new virtual Temperature Sensor gets the Binary temp sensor value. That’s works. ---

Thanks. What do you put in the When/And part to get the flow to trigger every 120s? It’s maybe too obvious for me to see ---

I have started the flow with when the temp changes but method also great Thanks again ---

With that setup I had probl ms due to too many times the flow was started and Homey blocked it after a while… But try.
