I get that, but I’d recommend you def should take a peek sometime. It’s part of the Device Capabilities app, Homey’s “Swiss army knife”.  
Some of the advantages for example: no need for flows to sync a ‘real device’ value to a virtual device value & no need to ‘dig up’ the correct capability, it’s simply selectable.
