How do I create a URL shortcut to flip on a virtual switch. I’ve found a post about creating a shortcut to control an actual switch but for some reason I couldn’t sort out how to adapt it to a vIrtual switch.

Try this:
http://<ip_address>:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=<devID>&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1
Replace <ip_address> with the IP address of Vera and with the device ID of the VirtualSwitch - without the <>.

Or you can use this for remote.

Hi
When I try this URL it says:
ERROR: Device does not handle service/action
I am using the VirtualSwitch plugin found here to create my virtual switches.
Can I send a http command to turn on / off my virtual switches?
Thanks
EDIT: Doh it does work I was using the wrong device ID.
Cheers
