How to manage simulator devices

Test device control without physical hardware. Sign in to Port OS before you start.

Create a simulator

1. Open Simulators.
2. Select New Simulator.
3. Choose a light and give it a clear name.
4. Create it, then open its linked endpoint from Your Devices.

Control the device

Use the endpoint power control to turn the light on or off. Read its returned power value to check the result. A simulated vacuum comes with rooms (Living room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Hallway unless you list your own) that you can clean one by one with clean-room. You can also use the simulator endpoint in the Quick start or connect an AI client.

Edit or remove a simulator

Open the simulator from the list. Use its edit or delete control. Removing a simulator removes your test device; confirm the selected device before deleting it.

If a simulator does not appear, refresh the list and confirm you are signed in to the same account. If a command fails, check endpoint permissions and try again after the pending command completes.
