Read the comment after this post since it confirms you have to install the Virtual Device Creator SmartApp using the old SmartThings Classic app first, then you can use it in the new SmartThings Connect app.
There is a Virtual Device Creator SmartApp. I see it listed in the new SmartThings app SmartApp section just like the SmartThings Home Monitor SmartApp is listed, but I’m not sure if that’s because I’ve already used it from the old SmartThings Classic app first.
I select the Virtual Device Creator SmartApp and give the new virtual switch a name and select done to save it. Then I can use the virtual switch as the trigger for Automations.
Quick example of using the virtual switch.
Virtual Switch Name: Home Security
Automation for Home Security Switch Off
If
Control device, Home Security = Off
Then
Change Security Mode = Disarmed
Automation for Home Security Switch On
If
Control device, Home Security = On
Then
Change Security Mode = Armed (Stay)
I can then use Alexa or Google Ho…
