Virtual Switches and Dimmers - A User's Experience

I’ve been using virtual switches extensively in my smart home setup, and they’ve been a game-changer for my automations. Recently, I noticed that creating new virtual switches has become a bit tricky. After some troubleshooting, I found that resetting the hub helped, but the devices still show the ‘device hasn’t updated all its status information’ message. I’m curious if others are experiencing similar issues or have found a workaround.

On the positive side, I’ve been exploring the new virtual dimmers and they’re fantastic! The smooth transitions and integration with my existing setup have been seamless. I’m also intrigued by the new ‘Force state change’ setting, which seems to enhance automation possibilities.

If anyone has tips on stabilizing virtual switches or maximizing the use of virtual dimmers, I’d love to hear them! Let’s keep the conversation going and share our experiences. Happy automating! :rocket:
