Legacy virtual switches stopped working (July 2023)

Hi, @liuliu
I checked your account and I see those devices are now using the LAN-thing driver. The team mentioned that happens when the device was using a Custom device type (DTH).
For example, if you created a DTH in the old IDE or if those virtual devices were created by a Custom SmartApp like in the case of @jpstewart.

As mentioned in this announcement, if there was no Edge driver replacement found for the device during the migration, it would be migrated to a generic “thing” driver.
Since these integrations weren’t Zigbee or Z-Wave, they were detected as LAN.

Based on the above, you need to create new virtual devices, others have shared some options and the Advanced users app can help as well.
To avoid having your routines deleted, create a new virtual device and then, replace it in the routine, after that, remove the original device.
