I have a number of virtual devices (and scenes) witch is built on top of a physical device. The reason for this can be that the physical device does not offer desired functions I want etc. My virtual devices(or scenes) can be lights or an electrical power meter. My problem is that this virtual device (as far as I can figure) always will be defined as a virtual device and presented accordingly in UI and app. For instance, I have some lights controlled by a virtual device(or scene), but when I look in the "Lights" folder in the app it´s not there. I have to look in "Virtual devices" or rooms to assert this function.

I would like a way to define a virtual device or scene as a functional device, e.g., my virtual device can be defines as light control. Does this possibility already exist or need to be developed?
