Virtual sensor from mqtt or http?

[paaland]

Is there a way to have a virtual sensor in Homey that get’s its value from mqtt?
Either that or set it via some http request to the homey?

I want to write a value to a virtual sensor in homey so I can use it in flows.

Yes, like this:

Thank you. What do you use for virtual sensor? I’ve only found virtual switches in the homey.

[Henrik_Johnsson]

I’m not using the built-in virtual devices, instead I use this app

[paaland]

I tried that app, but I’m unable to set the virtual sensors value. I’m running firmware v5rc50, perhaps the app does not support v5.

I can rest the value from the mqtt topic and use both on a variable and a notification. But the value on the virtual sensor does not set.

Plz show us the card.

[paaland]

The Better Logic variable is set (I’ve confirmed that) and the flow is triggered (the notification is created), but the sensor value is not set.

[Rocodamelshekima]

Set value=measure_power.
Plz do not use tags in the first option of the card but type in manually “measure_power”.
Like also visable in the flow cards from @Henrik_Johnsson.

Thanks, that worked.
