Feature Request: Virtual valve

📢 Feedback Feature Requests

we’ve got virtual devices for most everything else, I’d like a virtual valve too. I have a NC solenoid connected to a switch that I want to show up as a valve everywhere. I’d like to map the valve to the switch with RM and have it show up as a valve in homebridge.

thanks
