MultiSwitch provides eight virtual switches. If you click one of the eight buttons, the switch will toggle - i.e. on becomes off, off becomes on. The switch states can be used as triggers for scenes or PLEG devices. You can also target the switches with scenes and PLEG actions. The default scene or PLEG action - when selected by clicking on the buttons in the GUI - is to toggle the switch. You can convert this to a forced off or on by clicking on the scene/action Advanced tab and changing the newStatus value to 0 or 1 respectively. Buttons can be assigned to Radio groups where turning one on turns the others off. Buttons can also be set to Pulse so that they turn off after a short delay. The default button labels can be changed.
Extremely useful and elegant in its simplicity

Before I added this plugin to Vera, I had three virtual switches that each represented a home status: Home, Away, Guest. With the addition of MultiSwitch, I've replaced those three devices plus added capacity for five more. I'm a big fan of consolidation where it makes sense, and this plugin makes a whole lot of sense.



I'm certain that there are uses for this I haven't thought of yet, and I'm looking forward to finding out what else I can do with it.
