Virtual Container
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
