I was trying to create a virtual switch to use with Alexa to toggle a specific component on another device. I wanted Alexa to be aware of the current state and be able to change the state. Introducing [GitHub - rym002/smartthings-virtual-sync-switch: Virtual smartthings switch to support bidirectional operation](https://github.com/rym002/smartthings-virtual-sync-switch).

Checkout the readme on github for more info.
