I believe you can use the Smart Lighting app and you can mirror the on/off state of your Hue dimmer switch with your virtual switch that way if you turn it off with the dimmer switch it will also turn off your virtual switch. I do something similar with my under cabinet lights that are plugged into a smart outlet. When I turn on my smart light switch (ge) for the light above the sink I mirror it's on/off state with that of my smart outlet. The result is the under cabinet lights come on when I flip the switch on and likewise for off. It's been rock solid for me.
