I am trying to migrate my HS2 DM install to HS3 with BLRadar.
One of the last pieces I am having trouble with is virtual devices, I have an Insteon IOLinc that works as a contact switch that lets me know if the garage door is open or closed. With DM I set up the IOLinc as trigger for another device and it works perfectly. The other device always shows if the door is open or closed properly.
So I am trying to do the same with BLRadar. BLRadar works a little differently, so I set up a new motion sensor and choose the IOLinc as the device and add the reference code of a manually created device as the virtual device.
So then everything works great, the manually created device shows the correct status, time elapsed and I can trigger events from it. But for some reason BLRadar takes over the IOLinc, and on the next boot of HS3, the Insteon plugin thinks the device has been deleted and creates a new IOLinc, and no longer reports changes to the IOLinc that BLRadar is using.
Is there some way to create a virtual device that doesn't touch the original device that is triggering the virtual?
Many thanks for some great plugins BTW!
