I just noticed that I have a virtual hub in “No Room Assigned” l did do a device scan this morning but nothing was found so I assume it was added then I also have not seen “No Room Assigned” for months I thought that it was no longer used. Is this virtual hub created by SmartThing or did it show how get created by @TAustin vEdge Creator?
I do have an Aquara hub and a station connected to my v2 hub so wanted a little input before randomly deleting it.
The above is the brief description of the Simulator from the legacy documentation. You may note an air of caution at the top. By the time I started playing with the IDE, which would have been about 2018, it was pretty much accepted that the simulator was best avoided and I never actively used it. If you did ever use it you were likely to find you now had a ‘Virtual Hub’ device.
To be very clear, the simulator in question was part of the old SmartThings IDE architecture and access was removed in 2023. So you would have had to access it through the old IDE prior to that time.
Because people are starting to see the virtual hub pop up now,
I am wondering if perhaps it is part of the very new Matter Bridge support. But I don’t know.
Select the time period and confirm - In this step, please select “Until turned off”, once the team finishes, we’ll let you know so you can disable it again.
Has anyone got the API to spew its guts on what it knows about the ‘Virtual Hub’? It might be diagnostic to see what pops up in the CLI / Advanced Web App / API Browser+ or in raw API access to the /devices and /installed-hubs endpoints.
the team investigated these devices and based on the creation date, which was some years ago, it means that it does not belong to anything currently implemented on the platform, so it’s possible that they were created through the simulator that was available in the IDE where the DTHs were edited.
you should delete them without any problem via the app, but if you have problems, please let me know
