Virtual Switch Plugin on Smart Phone Apps

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

When using AutHomation, a virtual switch displays as a question mark.
When using Home Buddy, virtual switches do not display at all.
I have not tried other smartphone apps.

Is there anything that can be done to either fix the apps AutHomation and Home Buddy, or Virtual Switch plugin in order to be able to control virtual switches with smart phones?

AutHomation/AutHomationHD from the android market does not support plugins (version 2.0). There is a new test build in the AutHomation sub-forum (version 2.1) that supports 3rd party plugins. This new test version has support for the virtual switch plugin. More plugins will be added as time and demand permits. If you want to give it a go, please go here:

I will be releasing a more polished version soon for testing. Just a clarification on plugin support for 3rd party applications. Most apps require that the developer add support for 3rd party plugins. This is because they create new device types and commands that are not standard of Vera’s devices.
