Double socket shows as one in Google Home with Edge driver

This is currently an issue with all edge drivers. :disappointed_relieved: Very annoying! It has been reported for over a year by Beta users, but the only official response is that they’re aware of it.

The unofficial workaround is to create a virtual device for each component and use routines to keep them in sync. Then access the virtual devices in the voice assistant and other thirdparty integrations. It’s a lot of work, but it does solve the problem.

There are several community-created edge drivers for virtual devices. You can find them on the quick browse lists in the community-created wiki. Look for the list of Virtual Devices.

Here is one of several discussion threads on the topic.
