Sinope Water Valve node-red from HE7 to He5 – Node-RED

I use NR because I already use it for various purposes (integration of hubitat units, industrial PLC (modbus) and serial devices (volt meters).

Because my C5 is running ok, I don’t want to update the firmware (I had problems when I did it)

but I wonder why a virtual driver?
Isn’t it “just” a message that needs to be translated under NR, converting one value to another?
I have lots of parameters that are “other” values that become temperatures, by simplification (and I can change the attribute and replace the unit in Hubitat with another.
will submit some example later
thank you

Update.
In fact, when I use some comversion between devices through NR, I convert in Hubitat (prior to NR) a value to a temperature (whatever parameter) into temperature. The NR gateway transmits this parameter (temperature) between devices and I use it in the new Hubitat.

I’ll probably convert the Sinope rate (C7) to a temperature (virtual sensor), send it through NR and use it as “temperature” in my C5 (with a label as L/min instead of C)

Found my solution !

C7: Sinope.rate => virtual temp sensor
C7: Rule : virtual temp sensor = Sinope.rate if changed
NR: exchange temperature sensor (C7) to temperature sensor (C5)
C5: display and use virtual temp sensor (and display L/min unit

NR C7 flow to virtual temp sensor

NR C5 virtual temp sensor
