This setting is applied only after you disable and enable the Input again.

Switching Virtual Inputs

To switch Virtual Inputs, the HTTP request is used (see Switch between virtual IP-device states (HttpListener)).

The requests can be handled by macros (see Executing a web query). Create 2 macros for each Virtual Input: to switch to Closed and to switch to Opened.

You can run macros and requests from Dialog board (see Configuring the Dialog Board).

Virtual Inputs' status on map

You can add Virtual Inputs to maps just as you do with real ones (see Adding inputs and outputs).

Virtual Inputs status is color-coded (see Displaying device status).
