Create Virtual Switch how to video

Hi everyone, I wanted to make a quick how to video on creating a virtual switch in smartthings for people just starting off with smartthings. This can be very helpful if you are trying to automate a few commands with just one click. Also more important is if you want to give a command to google home and have it do multiple tasks then you need a virtual switch to do this. Example. I wanted to say " ok google, good night " and i wanted to have my kids bedroom , bathroom lights to turn off and dim hallway lights down to 10 percent. Well there is no way to do this with google home but can be done if its setup on a virtual switch in smartthings. Here is a link to the video if anyone is interested. hope it helps someone. virtual switch setup for smartthings

Then you would use smart lighting to mirror each speed of the fan controller to a separate virtual switch. You would have 4 virtual switches. You would turn the virtual switch on/off and then use an automation within smart lighting to mirror the fan speed to the virtual switch. You would need an automation for each speed/virtual switch.

Make sense?
