Set attribute on simulated Device?

[David3]

How could I set an attribute on a simulated device? I would like a SmartApp to set a simulated motionSensor to active or inactive so I could use that simulated motionSensor in the SHM app.

You might take a look at The code for Mike Maxwell’s zone manager. He takes multiple real sensors and associate them with a single virtual zone sensor and then turns that on or off as the other sensors trigger.

Smart Zone motion detector (Zone Motion Manager) [Deprecated -- no longer supported]

I built this to solve a number of motion related issues. –Reduction of false motion events in exterior applications (False Motion Reduction) –Represent a group of detectors with a single virtual detector (Motion Aggregation) –Enable a Motion Aggregation zone from various devices, switches, contacts ect (Triggered Activation) This is a parent/child application (like Smart Lighting) where the motion zones are created and edited from the parent application. When a new virtual zone is created, a virtual motion sensor is created for that zone. This virtual motion detector represents the states of the physical motion detectors that you configured for that zone. You can then use that virtual zone device in any applications that accept motion devices. [image] [image] [image] Three compo…

Yes, you can set the attribute in a simulated sensor. I (and I’m sure others) do this to create a delayed entry with the SHM.

I use WebCoRE to do this but there are certainly other options.

Thanks, this will help I think.
