It’s possible, but there may be a significant delay for an email trigger. At one point it was up to 15 minutes and I don’t know if that would work for your scenario.
But if you’re OK with any delay caused by the email trigger, then it’s easy. Make your “single device“ a virtual switch, and then have that virtual switch turning on trigger any other events within smartthings that you want to have happen, with any filters that you want to apply.
