Is it possible to add a dummy presence device, i have a variable device that shows a variable an/aus. But it looks mire acurate with a present/absent dot.
Thanks

[Solved] dummy present/absent device

You could just use the ping plugin. It makes a dot.
Other option is to make a variable device type boolean I believe. But I’m not sure.
Always try the impossible!

There is no present/ab dummy right now. But @sweetpi can make this, if you ask kindly haha. Or you can make one and make a pull request, if you know coffeescript and look at the contact dummy code.

@sweetpi could you please implement a present /ab dummy devuce. That would be Very nie. Thanks in advance!

variables device type boolean does not work, got this in the log:
18:39:03.379 [pimatic] error: Error loading device nachtabsenkung: Invalid config of device nachtabsenkung: 18:39:03.379 [pimatic] error:>#/variables/0/type: Should have enum string,number, was: boolean -
@p4co86 I am not sure it makes sense to add a DummyPresenceSensor as a Sensor typically has not action provider. So, as far as I know it is not possible to change state of DummyContactSensor then. Do I miss somethin?

i will do something like this. i have a variable an / aus. that shows me the string. but it would be nicer to have a dot. any ideas to realize that ?
example if it is after 22:00 than turn the dot on. if it is after 06:00 than turn the dot off.therfore it would be nice to have a dummy presence dot. or make it possible to change state

ive seen that the dummy presence device was integratet, thank for that.
but how can i change the state with rules ? i tried something like this, but that wouldn`t work.THEN change presence of Nachtabsenkung to true -
You can only change it with the api.
I’m not 100% sure but try this:execute "curl admin:password@localhost/api/device/nachtabsenkung/changePresenceTo?presence=true >/dev/null 2>&1" -
it works, thanks for the hint.
