[ST Edge] vEdge Creator: a virtual device generator for end users

Sorry if I have confused you with this example.
The virtual switches that I use most (26) are the momentary combo (with contact sensor)

which @TAustin updated yesterday (see his post above) to add a doorbell option which should help to ensure its function. As far as I can detect they trigger my Alexa routines correctly, in my case without any updating.
The example I gave, is different as it is a timer, but it enabled me to repeat triggering and prove that it was working. Possibly it’s not a good example as it can’t be used in many cases, but it did demonstrate quite conclusively! It is from @TAustin Shared Projects channel and is well documented

precisely here to set up for presence detection. I recommend it for this use but not for a general use. Hope some of this helps.
