First off, no issue with the Omni plugin. However this seemed to be the best audience for my question.
I'd like to elevate my garage doors from child devices under the main omni device in HS to its own device, with the two staying in-sync. In the Omni my garage doors are security zones and the action is controlled through outputs on the Omni. I'm trying to move toward have one interface/central controller (HS - isn't that they main point of HS...?), as much as possible, and having the garage doors more visible "I think" would be beneficial.
I know I can create a virtual device and set it up just like the child device and use EasyTrigger to keep them in sync, then manage actions via HS events. But is that the only option, or even the best option? Anyway easier way to elevate a child to a separate device? I looked at copy device, don't think that is helpful for what I'm trying to do, but would be helpful if I create a virtual device for the first garage door. Then just copy for the second garage door. I looked at link device, that doesn't seem to fit either.
Maybe I'm just being lazy and looking for the easy button... Anyone else do this and how?
