Vera Virtual Switch

[Jeff Wooding]

Ok I got it figured out! I just manually created a Virtual Switch.
Instructions are here:
http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Create_Virtual_Switch_Manually

Now what I do is connect my Scene Controller to this virtual switch that
shows up in Vera as a unit. So it is a pseudo unit created in the Vera.
Then I write On and Off scripts according to what I want the Scene
controller to do inside of Xtension. :)

Problem solved, Now I have some wireless scene controllers, and in-wall
110V scene controllers.

Thanks,
Jeff
