Iris Smart Plug WiFi

3. It then asks me to select a switch. Since the IRIS Wifi Plug is not paired in SmartThings, it cannot locate the switch. It IS paired on my IRIS hub, but there is no way to access the IRIS + software applet through IFTTT. Without creating a Virtual Switch in SmartThings first to which I have no idea how to do this, then there is no way to have this applet select the Virtual Switch to send a notification to.

The step that is missing is how to create a Virtual Switch that the IFTTT software can recognize in IRIS + so that it can relay an IFTTT command to the switch and SmartThings recognizes it is there.

Am I making sense?

FAQ: Creating a virtual Groovy Device [OBSOLETE]

Need a FAQ for the simplest version of this: a virtual on/off switch. Maybe even two FAQs, one for why you would want one with use case examples and one step by step how to for creating one in ST. Thanks! 2023 Update Since groovy will be going away soon, so will groovy virtual switches. See the new FAQ for on the replacements: FAQ: Creating Virtual Devices Without the IDE
