Virtual Device - Device type / kind

[sandip 1]

Hi,

 

I have a motorized curtain which can only be controlled by dry contacts. So I am using a Fibaro 1.5x2 relay and created a virtual device to trigger the required combination to operate. Its working fine. 

 

Now, couple of issues with mobile GUI, this being a virtual device, how can I change the device type or kind for it to appear under the blind tab in the interface rather than under virtual device? 

 

Secondly, the icon on the device preview comes as a power button (refer attached image) is there any way to change that button icon

and also put more buttons?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can't set Virtual Device to be treated as real device of some category. Also in default view only one button (main one) can be displayed. Button icon can not be changed, but device icon can be amended by adjusting property of virtual device:

Where:

- XX is device ID

- YY is icon ID

Will this be a future improvement? I have the same problem with my Hue VD's. (even the plugin isn't in the lamps category)

It would be very nice if they showed in the lamps category. It would improve the professional appearance of the system.

I believe it will be rather implemented in plugins in the future, which will allow much more flexibility.

How do you find the Icon ID?

How do you find the Icon ID?

Yeah, want to know that too. Is this the normal name of the Icon like: user4.png?

The trick to find the icon number is when you see the list of icons  (during changing device icon) do as following:

1. Set the mouse pointer on desired icon

2. Press mouse right button

3.Choose "Inspect Element"

4. On your right should appear HTML screen with marked line like:

    <img id="icon_type_2" src="/fibaro/n_vicons/User1052.png" class="DeviceIcon96x96" style="float: none;"> 

5. The icon number in this case is 1052.

 

to set the icon use fibaro:call(XX, "setProperty", "currentIcon", "1052")

Hi! 

 

Thanks for sharing solutions. 

 

Everything works on web access (I can see the icons assigned to VD) but Fibaro app didn't show my new icons. Only default icons. What I am doing wrong?
