If you are interested in (pretty) simple way of making virtual devices for the Fan / Light, I have created an app that can do it for you and keep them in sync with the individual endpoints. The benefit of the virtual devices is:
-
The virtual devices can be used in the new Alexa & Google Home integration.
-
The virtual devices will properly update their status when you adjust them in the new SmartThings app.
I am still working on a better KB article, but here is my first draft of how to get it setup:
I had to rush this out a little bit so let me know if their are any bugs / issues.
Edit: Found and fixed a bug in the Smart App. Sorry about that.
