You are making perfect sense. So now we’re dealing with how to make a Virtual Switch. There are many fine apps that our amazing community has created. The Virtual Switch I am using was created via the Alexa Helper app. It sounds like you are a new to this, which is fine. I’ve only been here a couple weeks myself. But I would recommend reading this FAQ article on custom code. I found it VERY helpful.
I hope that points you in the right direction. If I can help any more, please just ask. If I can’t answer it, someone here can.
