Hello everyone.
i was wondering if there is a way to change the status of a device (real device or a virtual one) without actually executing the command.
i have a lot of virtual devices that i use for the amazon echo and the hstouch setup but when the device changes (like using its switch), the virtual device doesnt change.
so i created a lot of events like:
if "Alexa - Virtual device kitchen shades" Changes to "On"
Or if device changes and becomes "Kitchen Shades" to "Open"
THEN:
change device
Alexa - Virtual device kitchen shades to "On"
Kitchen Shades to "Open"
and Do not re-run event for 3 seconds.
That way i can tell Alexa to "Turn On" Kitchen shades (So annoying - integrate "Open/Close" already) and the shades will open.
but if i open the shades using it's switch, Alexa's virtual device will stay off.
i would like to change the Virtual device to "On" without actually sending the "On" Command (only its status without marking the "Status only" checkbox)
is this possible?
thanks
