This looks nice on the surface! Has anyone figured out if it is possible to control virtual devices?

Hi @Ros,

 

Just after quick peak to FAQ in KB article (posted in 1st post of this topic) i found following statement:

So no, you cannot control virtual devices. It is shame though, since e.g. Philips HUE works better with @Sankotronic VD, than with Fibaro Plugin.

@jakub.jezek use scene with VD

I though I could install this thing for my wife, since she has iPhone X and is constantly logged out from the Fibaro app...

I thought if the app does not work, may be this thing works...

"List devices" gets me the list ... VDs don't work, but ok...

"List scenes" gets me..."The list of all scenes is empty. How else can I help You?

 

All my scenes are in Lua and it appears this bot cannot fire any Lua scenes...

That is true. I forgot to mention that. My answer to @Ros, was meant for using solely virtual device, without making it into scene.

 

BTW, when you plan to make anouncement of that Messenger bot. I cannot find any?

All users will be able to use it with 4.510, soon more good info (I wonder how many of then you will find before our official info about them)

[jakub.jezek 353]

@A.Socha, i found it accidentally by "stepping on it" while browsing Fibaro KB for Fibaro ID info i was not sure about.

 

Also, it make sense, since some people using Facebook Messenger for SMS. It gives feeling that user control Fibaro via SMS.

For non-voice control i love to use unicodes . it tells me if e.g. Wall Plug is Lamp or just regullar wall plug for all kind of devices.
