How to trigger an event on another device (possibly virtual?)

Hi - I am trying to trigger an event on another device from within my SmartApp using when a virtual (simulated) switch is triggered. The virtual switch gets triggered fine (as it happens by an IFTTT rule) and then the associated event fires with :- sendEvent(name: "themotion", value: "active") which is tied to section("Which Motion Sensor to activate:") { input "themotion", "capability.motionSensor", required:true, title: "Where?" } I am hoping the sensor will act as if it has been triggered by physical motion but this does not happen (with nothing in the “Recently” tab). Any thoughts why this is not working? Thanks. James.
