SmartThings virtual devices using CLI

You will probably see it if you look at the details of a virtual device using the API Browser+

Correct! There I can see the Virtual Switch Driver ID -
572a2641-2af8-47e4-bfe5-ad83748fd7a1

On the Advanced ST UI this lists as local, although no driver is seen in my case

Hi, @Johnnybegoode
The engineering team corrected this. I just checked and the Driver’s name appears correctly. Can you confirm, please?

Hi @nayelyz
Shows now simply as ‘Virtual Switch’, but without the surrounding selection box as seen in the case of other devices. I understand that is correct as no driver change can be made.
Thanks for the follow up!

I’ll see if we can request an option in the Advanced Users tool to use the “local version” of the virtual device.

Hi, @TapioX and others interested.
The engineering team also included the option to create Locally run devices in the Advaced Users App. Remember only Switch and Switch Level have this option available, so, you will be able to select one of those two.
Thank you!
