Hi, i’ve spent several hours trying to figure out how to create a virtual thermostat device from my smart things motion sensor and am stuck. My end goal is to ask my Google home “What temperature is it in my bedroom?”. I’ve read that Google home doesn’t recognize the temperature function of my mult…

Create the virtual thermostat the same way you created the virtual switch, when you get to the Type field, select Simulated Thermostat from the drop down list. [image]

With the latest update of Google Home I have been able to do this without the simulated thermostat as long as the sensor is in the room. I just asked Google “what’e the temperature in the bedroom” and it responded “the master bedroom sensor is currently 74 degrees.” I have an aeotec 5 in the bedro…

@eibyer Thank you for that. I added the simulated thermostat and google home recognizes it as a separate device now. But how does this new simulated device know that its temperature should be taken from the temperature of the smartthings motion sensor? Right now the simulated thermostat’s temperatu…

Do you think you could learn WebCode?

Anyone know how to make the simulated thermostat read and automatically update its temperature from the smartthings motionsensor?

Appreciate that. But seems too complicated for me! Guess I’ll just wait until google adds the functionality instead of hacking around it.

If you can install webcore, this will update the simulated thermostat with temp from the source device (ignore my source device name).
