I’m seeking advice on how to merge devices or to propose a new capability for the Homey Pro. I have a non smart A/C unit and wish to have a single entity that combines a power meter device (ie socket) and the A/C controls. Any app or way to achieve this?  
As a product enhancement you could edit the device and in advanced instead of a manual input of Power off/on numerical values for power consumption you could link that with the data from another power enabled device.  
your help is appreciated,

With a so called advanced virtual device you can create pretty much anything you’d like

Peter, Thanks for your reply, I’ll give a shot to accomplish with Device Capabilities. Posted in product enhancements. Adding power from other device should be a simple task =)
