Introduction

Virtual devices help to extend the functionalities of the Ampio system by transmitting messages from other types of devices (eg. Z-Wave and Lora slave devices).

Configuration

A virtual device is on the list of devices only until the first closing of the Ampio Smart Home configurator. Remember to save the project, otherwise you will have to add it from scratch at the next launch.

Conditions

You can create condition from the virtual device but not to the virtual device.

For example, in the case of Z-Wave you can create a condition from slave inputs using the virtual device, but controlling outputs is done through the function tab of the M-CON-ZWAVE-s module.
