Simulated Switches
I hear people talk about "Virtual Switches" as well as "Simulated Switches". Personally, I will only recommend using "Simulated Switches", since I have seen a lot of errors lately involving virtual switches.
To create a SimSwitch, I use a web browser to:
- Log into the IDE
- Choose “My Devices” at the top
- Click on “+ New Device” in the top right
Then use the image on the left as a guide:
Side Note: Sometimes I have to use a "Private Browsing Window" or "Incognito" to be able to log into the IDE.
Once the device is added, ST will see it within a few seconds, but you will also have to tell webCoRE that you have a new device.

Adding devices to webCoRE
- Connect the device to SmartThings first
- Toggle the device using the SmartThings app on your phone to make sure it is working
- Add the device to webCoRE by going to: Automation > SmartApps > webCoRE > Settings > Available devices > Available devices
- Select a category, and place a check-mark next to any device that you want webCoRE to see and/or control
- Save multiple times until you are back in the SmartApps page
