Enabling the experiment

Enable or disable this experiment in More (...) → Settings → Experiments.
Step 2
Once enabled, go to Devices → Homey.
Step 3
Select the specific virtual device you want to add to Homey.
Virtual button
A Virtual Button can be switched on or off by tapping on it. For example, you can use this button to start a Flow.
Virtual switch
A Virtual Switch can also be switched on or off by tapping on it. However, you can also select the type of device that is plugged in. To set the specific device, add the virtual switch and tap on the settings button in the top right corner.
Under What's plugged in? you can select the type of device. When you set the device type, you can control this virtual switch via Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
Virtual IP camera
A Virtual IP Camera lets you create a virtual IP camera in Homey. During the pairing wizard, you can enter a URL to an HTTP IP Camera image, for example: http://192.168.1.100/snapshot.jpg.
This way, you can add network cameras to Homey. Once added, you can use the image tag in your Flows.
