HI All, I’m really struggling on how to put the pieces together. I have an iTach WIFI 2 IR that i want to use as my TV controller. so i created a device type ( called iTach ) that is effectively a bunch of standard tiles each of which fire a custom commands like ( TVON, TVOFF, SET_INPUT_1, etc…) w…

Welcome to the forums my friend! First, can you describe in more detail what you are trying to do? [image] jvigeant: How do i now get the app on my phone connected to a ‘virtual’ device Is this smartapp here the iTach smart app or a smartthings smartapp? [image] jvigeant: if i connect…

[image] jvigeant: My problem is i can’t figure out how to create a logical collection of ‘buttons’ that could trigger different events in the smartthings app on my phone… That is what a device is and does, it is a collection of buttons like on or off that can trigger different events in a sma…

BTW, if what you are asking is just how to create a virtual switch that will have a Thing tile in the ST app, you create it through the IDE. [image] FAQ: Creating a virtual Groovy Device [OBSOLETE] Wiki Need a FAQ for the simplest version of this: a virtual on/off switch.…
