Hi @10der

Does this also work with the HC3?

I would like to change the icon on a device.

Reading is possible with

a = fibaro.getValue (316," deviceIcon ")

For example, 32 comes out. The same as in the Swagger!

If I want to change that to 1054, I can do that with

fibaro.call (316, "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1054)?

I tried to be respectful of possible mistakes.

But it didn't work.

 

?

self:updateProperty("deviceIcon", 1044)

 

NB: not all devices support this action. why? idk. it's open question without any answers

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I still have a stupid question, where is the device ID? I would like to change the device icon of device ID 316.

So I can only change the QA icon, right?

 

Or isn't that better? Although I am not sure if this is correct.

api.put("/devices", ''id': 316,"properties': ''deviceIcon': 1054''")

 

Greetings Frank

Frank, the best manual and FAQ how to use Fibaro API is file fibaroapiHC3.lua by @jgab 

please download this file and use it for learning.

So far so good !

That's nice that you point out my ignorance!

I'm not going into that either!

I know that I still have a lot to learn and I am hard at it.

 

My question was not related to a QA but a normal scene in the HC3.

Probably came across incorrectly or was translated (Google)

 

Explained again!

I would like to change the icon of any device in a normal scene (HC3) using a command.

 

The example above of @10der is exactly that.

But with this I change the own (from the QA) icon in a QA.

I understood it like that.?

 

With the json I am still at war and try to get used to complex things.

I think it is: fibaro.call(ID, "setProperty", "currentIcon", iconID)

 

(Haven't tried it)

@SmartHomeEddy

Thank you very much

That true the way a typo on my part was true the cause of not working.

 

The correct command is: fibaro.call (Device-ID, "setProperty", "deviceIcon", Icon-ID)

 

SUPER thanks again!
