Implement Virtual Units

[DivineThreepwood]

There is a feature needed to describe and configure virtual units.

• Virtual Units

  • Does not a have a controller or manager instance
  • Are connected to real units via the consumer and provider pattern
  • Can be controlled via the normal unit and service remotes
  • Each has a UnitConfig registered in the unit registries
    • Is a HostUnit needed?

• Example 1 (Non smart motion detector is bind to an contract IO.)

  • RealUnit
    • PowerSwitch
  • VirtualUnit
    • MotionDetector

• Example 2 (Non smart lamp connected to an controllable power source like a knx actuator)

  • RealUnit
    • PowerSource
  • VirtualUnit
    • Lamp
