Masquerade Plugin

[dduff617]

I have a bunch of door sensors on doors on my house that have simple behavior that they are On when open and Off when closed. I also have two garage doors hooked to IOLincs. I'd like to encapsulate the IOLincs so they behave like the other sensors and ideally be able to include these encapsulated devices in a Device Group.

I'm encouraged by the one-line summary of Masquerade plugin, which states "This plugin allows non-sensor devices (IOLincs, Alarm zones, etc) [to] look like Sensor devices." Sounds pretty close to what I'm after... When I try to create a device using the plugin (example: On/Off Sensor Device), the first thing it asks me is to select a plugin. But my IOLinc devices are "native" Indigo devices (no plugin) - so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Help/advice appreciated.

Well, I can tell you this. The original version of the plugin had support for all the native Indigo device types (Z-Wave, Insteon, etc). Somewhere around version 0.1.0 I took that out. I have no idea why. I can't find anything in this thread or GitHub that documents why. And that was four years ago, so I have no memory of actually doing it. There must have been a reason, but for the life of me I can't remember it.

Getting old sucks.

I'll go back and look at the old code and see what it would take to restore it.

Thanks for the quick response! Glad to know I wasn't missing something obvious.

It seemed a bit mysterious that there was (as far as i could find) no mention of "IOLinc" anywhere in this thread beyond the first post.

That's a Masquerade plugin error. This is the MyQ forum. Moving it.

[FlyingDiver]

You can't use humidity.ui, it's not a valid float number to convert. You need to use just humidity.

Hey Joe...seems like the URL in the About Masquerade v0.3.2 in the plugin and the Get Support link in the plugin store both link to the MyQ forum, not this one.

I was looking up something to see if Masquerade could do it and the links carried me to the MyQ forum.

Just FYI

Thanks

Will fix.

Hi. I have a virtual device called 'Mark home' which gets switched on and off via HomeKit according to whether I am home or not. I want to use it in Occupatum so have set up a Masquerade device to make it show as a motion sensor. But nothing happens...

Am mystified... I've tried leaving the match string empty and tried including it. I manually switch on and off the source device, but the masquerade device does nothing at all.

What am I doing wrong?

[FlyingDiver]

The onOffState of a virtual device is only usable when you have "Supports Status" checked, AND your on/off action groups set the status variable's value appropriately.

[FlyingDiver]

And then use "True" as the match string, since the state is actually a boolean.

[Londonmark]

That works - thanks. Was literally the next thing I was going to try but then though better to ask. Will be braver next time...

Howdy! I'm trying to use Masquerade to publish an on/off relay to Occupatum. I can get the Masquerade plugin to update its state from 0 to 1 depending on the on/off state of the device, but the Occupatum device doesn't follow its changes. Now I think it's because in the device details the On State isn't updating, but I can't find any way to get it to update, nor am I 100% sure that this is what would mark that room as occupied in Occupatum.

Here's the device output:

I've attached a couple of screenshots of the states and config in case they help. Also I've tried it with different device types (such as a z-wave relay) but with the same results. I suspect I've just not got something configured correctly, but I'm drawing a blank on what that is. Any ideas?
