thanks
Are you just looking for how to create virtual switches now? Or are you looking for a routine to do the locking?
Here’s the FAQ on virtual switches in the new architecture:
1. IF YOU HAVE A SMARTTHINGS/AEOTEC HUB
Then life is easy. Several community members have created edge drivers (which run on your hub), and create virtual devices of many different types. There are regular simple on/off switches, momentary switches, virtual sensors of all types, virtual thermostats, even some other specialty devices. And there are virtual switches combined with virtual sensors which can be used to trigger Alexa routines. So lots of choices. There’s even one that lets you combine two physical devices, typically a tilt sensor and a garage door relay, into one virtual device that will look like a garage door, functionality that we used to have to do with a smartapp.
Different drivers have different features so you may want to look at several before deciding which to use, o…

I have a handler and a contact sensor and a routine, for a few years, but last week it stopped working. The door doesnt auto-lock any more, I can lock it from the smartthings app, but its not auto locking.
Use auto lock feature on your lock.

Any way to trigger the auto lock after a contact sensor confirms the door is closed using the edge driver?
Lock the door automatically:
Or activate Auto lock:
