Are you able to make the controller move between hubs? My mother in law has a regular hub. If I can create it on hers and then move it to mine, maybe that can work.

Hi @Wajo357
Unfortunately, I don’t think moving controller is possible.

83

That’s what I figured. Thanks.

Thanks
I will give it a try and report back later.

EDIT: @ygerlovin I created 2 switches and the camera icon is working as expected. Thanks again for making this change.

Anyone having issues with the virtual switches?

Mine will not turn on/off and I can’t create any new switches

@Jeff_Gallagher ,
If you have the latest driver version, I would suggest to reboot the hub

Not sure how I can tell which version I’m on

But will reboot my v3 hub. It’s working on the v2

89

@Jeff_Gallagher In the hub’s detailed view in the app, press three dots in the upper right corner, then select “Driver”.
You will see a list of edge drivers, installed on your hub. Select the driver and you will see the driver version.

Thanks I’ve got the new driver now and rebooted. All back to normal.

Thanks again :+1:

Everything installed fine and showing in the cli logs - but how do I link in an external temperature sensor to the virtual thermostat

92

@Old_iron ,
Unfortunately, I don’t think it is currently possible to achieve with virtual thermostat alone.

Please see the following discussion for more details.

93

As Yakov mentioned, currently is not possible with edge drivers. There is Virtual Thermostat solution, but 8s is Groovy based SmartApp, and as Groovy is going away soon, one of the developers took different approach. Hebl created the driver for zigbee temperature sensors, that adds thermostat capabilities, and more. I am using it with Aqara Temperature sensor, and works great. I just have to create automations with switches/outlets

94

Thanks for the replies - I’ll follow up the links.

I’m really only just starting out down the Edge journey, having been successfully using webcore previously.

Interestingly devices with edge drivers are available within the ‘Samsung Automation Studio’ cloud version of Node-Red - I guess this will ultimately replace webcore?

95

Is it possible to have an audio device with capabilities similar to the old type audio player?

96

@ygerlovin, can you add an icon for a Water Sensor. I want to create a virtual switch for my moisture/water sensors to trigger Alexa to make an announcement if a leak is detected.

97

@crsaunders
What capabilities do you have in mind?
For example:
audioVolume
audioMute
audioTrackAddressing
audioTrackData
audioStream
mediaPlayback
etc

Could please elaborate on your use case?
Thanks

98

I’m not aware about any such plans.
Perhaps it is better to ask this question in forum in separate thread

@damohabir I will look into it.
Do you want a virtual water leak sensor or you just want an additional icon for the virtual switch?
For virtual leak sensor, what capability is missing for Alexa?
Do you need a hidden door sensor to be able to trigger Alexa routines?

Just an icon for the virtual switch. Thanks.
