can a virtual device be toggled in HS4

[dbrunt]

so in HS4 now when you create a virtual device you get 2 devices
one is the status and the other the control (on/off) and toggle
this does NOT work! but if you delete the control and give the status the controls (on/off/toggle) it works...yip pee.

easytrigger would need to update to HS4 so you could select
morning alarm clock and then sub-feature Control
to make this work.

So you are using EasyTrigger then?

You'd have to ask HomeSeer...

Hello. Thanks again for the information which I will take great care of. I'll start analyzing EasyTrigger specifically. Thanks

using easytrigger and 2 simple events this is working very well

I have a virtual device for a garage door warning. With two events I toggle a device between open and close. I use a bunch of ZRC-90 remotes throughout the house and also some zigbee single buttons.

Event #1 If button 1 gets pressed and the garage door is closed then open the garage door. Start the timer. Set the virtual device to open for a warning every 5 minutes
Event #2 If button 1 gets pressed and the garage door is open then close the garage door. Stop and reset the timer. Set the virtual device to closed.

Very simple, easy to manage and should be flexible enough to use for various triggers.

could you expand your IF statement so I can see how this was accomplished?

Sure

Thanks
this is a much better way

You can also use a very simple toggle script (attached), in an event.

Copy the attached script (toggle.vb.txt) toggle.vb.txt in your script directory.
Rename it toggle.vb
Check the ref number of the device you want to toggle (1642 in this example)

Set an event:
IF manually triggered
Then
Run the script: toggle.vb
calling method Main with parameter(s) 1642

et voilà ...
