How to create a virtual device in a "new" way?

The guide you shared before is not up-to-date, the option to add virtual devices from the Developer Workspace is no longer available.

In the Dev Workspace, you have to create the ST Schema and SmartApp projects which:

  • will have a device profile that you’ll use in the integration. This defines the device metadata (capabilities, presentation, etc.)
  • is where you register them to install them from the ST app later. The information here includes:
    • the URL where those projects are hosted
    • OAuth credentials (if needed)

There are some users that mention they use the “Labs” tool in the app to create some simple devices but I believe it is not available for some regions.
