[image] XPhiles: how do i provide an enable switch that isnt tied to a device? You could create a Switch type Item, and put it on your UI. That’s it. An Item without any connection to a real device. You may have been creating Items so far with PaperUI or with files.

thank you greatly for this, i will test it out :slight_smile: Looking at the code, can you use the same item for myTriggerItem and myTogglingItem?
