Would this entail adding the scenes from Busch Jäger into HomeKit? That would be so great!

No, virtual devices are an extension point you can use to tie in custom devices into free@home. Scenes support is another thing that's been on my list for some time, but your comment triggered me to finally create a ticket for it. See #38.

I got a new „4x Schaltaktor“ with 2 new commands but they are not showing up in homebridge. Would these be virtual devices? Or something else again?

As I said in my previous comment virtual devices are an extension point you can use to add custom, non-B+J devices to free@home.

If the new actors are not recognized they probably have a new function ID which is not supported yet. If you could provide the corresponding snippet from the SysAP config endpoint I might be able to support them.

What are the new commands they support?

[korneliuscode]

Sure! Where do I find that snippet? They open the garage and entrance gate.

Hi, the device is 6251/0.4 and two actuators are configured with the function Trigger. I control this mostly using a Sensor unit, 2gang 6221/2.0

@pgerke should we split this, given it is probably not related to virtual devices?

I have copied your previous comment to #41 and deleted it here.
