The intent of this driver is to enable users to create their own smart apps / devices to enable automations that are not possible with their physical devices. For example, associating a relay/contact sensor to make a door. Follow the invite link below to install the driver. This will create a Virtual Hub in a “No Room Assigned” room within the ST app. You can use this virtual hub to create further devices.
Here is a Garage Door Example connecting a relay and contact sensor to automate the door. You should consider t…
