[Feature Request] Allow to create Virtual Devices #129

Closed lucode closed 3 weeks ago

lucode commented 4 months ago

I do have a lot of Variables and Helpers, which are related to a device that has no physical representation of its own. For instance an EV charger and a Victron Solar Inverter. The EV charger has a Shelly power meter and a switch plus various variables and helpers, so it would be very nice to attach the different entities to a virtual device called something as Generic EV Charger. The same goes for the Solar Inverter. Attaching to a device could be done similar as with helper templates. image

Honestly I have no idea if such a function is technically feasible, so I just would like to start a discussion about it and I thought that the developers of this integration should know if this is doable or not.
