    Why not?

    Because you can make special thinkies for devices.

    Must weather station like devices only report RH and not Absolute Humidity. So it would be nice to have a device that shows the calculated Absolute Humidity.
    Also thinks like Virtual switch for a washing machine could be handy. Create some logic that sets on start cycle a "switch" called "running" to "true" and when the device is finish you can set the "switch" called "running" to "false".
    On status change of "switch" called "running" you can trigger stuff (send mobile notification or email).


  • Here are looking for a delay timer. Because I needed more then one you can treated like a sort of virtual remote.

    I'd like this also! The ability to activate a flow or command as if its a device, especially useful on mobile. Or show the status of something as a virtual device. Same as you could with the Fibaro HC2.

    Just install the KlikAanKlikUit app and pair a new socket by generating a random signal. Done :)
