I am using the virtual device as a on off switch that can be used by Amazon Echo by way of the Hue bridge. Simple, On turns all lights on and Off does the opposite. I am assuming that the "toggle option" is what I need to address. I will need to set a variable called Lights that has values of On or Off and is somehow kept current. I then see two options:
1. Create an Action group that turns lights on or off based on the variable Lights. This action group would be entered as the "Toggle Group" in the "Supports Toggle" section
2. Select Lights as the "Status Variable" in the "Configure virtual on/off device" dialog. Presumably toggling can occur in this situation without selecting "supports toggle"
Does this seem like a logical direction to head in?
