[RELEASE] Device Mirror

[phuc.tran]

As my first project I decided to try and recreate the Hubitat Mirror App and added a few more device types like Motion Sensor, Contact Sensor, Audio and Single Button.

Feedback on any mistakes or general improvements is very welcomed

Here is the repository where you can find the parent and child app:

One known issue that's been answered:

Accessing the rate/duration/Transition time of a switch

I tried to remake the Hubitat Mirror application that mirrors switches and noticed that I can't access the rate/duration variable from the event in the setLevel command and therefore cannot "fade" the light over time like the master switch does. To see if it was even possible, I tested the Hubitat Mirror app and it seems like it doesn't handle the rate/duration either. When the master switch uses setLevel with a duration, the slave switches uses setLevel without duration (both in my own app and…

[phuc.tran]

I actually made a mistake, yet again. It's supposed to be updateAppName("Mirror: ${master}") and the output would be "Mirror: your master device name". without the "" it would just be "Device Mirror Child"

@phuc.tran how does your app differ from the built in Mirror app?

[phuc.tran]

The built in Mirror app only supports Switches (light switches). I extended mine with a few extra devices. I haven't seen the source code for the built in app, but from what I can tell from functionality, the apps behave the same way when it comes to light switches
