Psuedo devices

[larryllix]

Psuedo devices could be defined as several diifferent types. Analogue, status, text.... They would not be influenced by external Insteon signals but only internal ISY signals and assigments.

 

One useful application I can think of would be an analogue psuedodevice  that could have an analogue value assigned to it from variables etc. This could be valuable for remote reading of values with such data  as Rest inflicted values from an external device using the Rest interface  or the result of some calculation.

 

Of course if variables where easily readable from things like MobiLinc (hint, hint) this wouldn't be so desireable.

 

They may be very useful in testing of program logic. I have used phoney X10 devices for this purpose myself. I can watch devices remotely insead of program states like Vacation Mode On/Off.

Hi larryllix,

 

We are planning to have virtual devices in 5.0.

 

With kind regards,
