[REQ] A simple way to populate data through homeyscript

[Niels]

Would be great if we had the option of populating the fields in the virtual devices directly through homeyscript instead of homeyscript>homeyscript tags > flow with multiple flowcards > virtual device.

personally I wanted something similar to populate my MQTT data to some virtual temp sensors with the temp, humidity, battery and bt/wifi strength

await dcApp.apiPost('setvalue', {device:'c34dc5b4-3c30-48a9-8a4e-014aea93d00d', field:'measure_power', value:501});
