Summary[edit | edit source]

Easily Organize and Create Virtual Drivers (Stored in a Virtual Container).

Features[edit | edit source]

This driver is simply a way to easily create and organize virtual devices in Hubitat. I created this because, the more I built automations, the more I realized that I need to create multiple virtual devices to keep things in sync with hubitat. I created a version of this in ST (for different reasons) but realized it would be very beneficial for someone like me in HE. I hate having scattered Virt Devices with names that were difficult to remember and tricky to find.

You create a new virtual device of type "Virtual Container". This will be the parent driver. From this driver you can create multiple types of child drivers using the built-in HE virtual drivers (and @Cobra's custom drivers if selected).

  • Virtual Switch
  • Virtual Momentary (Switch with autoOff set to 500ms)
  • Virtual Dimmer
  • Virtual Button
  • Virtual Presence
  • Virtual Motion Sensor
  • Virtual Contact Sensor

@Cobra custom drivers are also available if the option is chosen in Preferences

  • Average All Device
  • Custom WU Driver
  • Switch Timer
  • Virtual Presence Plus
  • Weewx Weather Driver - With External Forecasting
