I’ve got some virtual switches in Smartthings I use to trigger automations in HA to turn on/off multiple lights. I’d like to get away from virtual anything in Smartthings and use it for the actual physical devices connected to it.
I’ve created groups to turn the lights on and off, but this seems clunky to me. I’ve been looking at the switch template and I’m not sure if it will help or not. From what I understand the switch template needs to check the state of an existing physical device in order to work.
Is there any way to get the switch template to work like a virtual switch in Smartthings?
