Create dummy device for tox test

[rotbarsch]

I changed some functionality in emulated_hue component and it’s working as expected.

Now I’m having a hard time writing a test so the change can be merged into dev branch. I need to create a dummy device for the component cover, which I can use in the tox test to check whether the settings changed by emulated_hue actually was set to the entity.

How can I create such a dummy device for my test? And where? I’m quite new to python but willing to learn.

Create a virtual Dimmer or light template for Alexa

I have created lots of automation’s via the Alexa routines feature, which then switches input boolean components in HA to action the request. This is getting cumbersome using one input boolean for each routine. I would like to create a virtual dimmer in HA then expose this entity to Alexa. This would give me a 100 different responses via the dimmer, using just one entity, is this possible?
