If you make your own widget json you can of course choose your own icon names for the states, but the general principle is the same.

 

Ok I have been able to set my own icons for lustre keeping the light type and selecting lustre as iconset🙂 

I have not yet been able to create mY own lustre.json: if I add lustre.json in the widget directory, it seems to be suppressed as soon as I relaunch the application.

 

What is the usage of subdirectory packages in widgets?

 

BTW: could you add the possibility to change x,y positions in the device edit window as now the only way to align icons is editing the config.json

I will have a look at user widgets.
The packages directory is for installing widget packages. It's an archive with json and icons and suffix .hwe.
It's under development and not for the public yet  

I'm not so keen on x,y... is it hard to align icons dragging them with the mouse? maybe some snap-to-grid, with a 5px grid?

I was very happy to drag them to the place to be and very fast. Is it different on Windows?

Fighting to get some user icons in solar no luck

What widget type have you assigned solar?
The names of the user icons depends on what widget type you have assigned.

For placing initially the icon it is perfect and as said Sjakie, fast and easy.

I tried to be more accurate using the zoom but at 200%, the top of my floor is no more accessible so cannot place or move icon there...

Yes I think enough for aligning

I have a new issue certaily related with all I did to have Home Map working:

I tried to make a backup of my home data and it starts to backup all my \ASUS folders and files (>20Go)

I copy all the needed file an directory first

Using cogwheel, I change the Home Map data path from C:\USERS\ASUS to C:\USERS\ASUS\homemapdata but get an error message:

/monthly_2025_11/image.png.954d86615b52d40326df9e71e2e4b92d.png" /> which I do not understand!

How I can correct that?

Reinstalling from scratch Home Map with HC3_HOMEMAP=ASUS\homemapdata has been successful:  it is using the right path and all my settings are still there😆 . The backup function is also OK now.

 

There is a very minor issue: I have change the Defaullt emoji to 🏰 which is visible in the House Icom (Emoji) field but at the top , the default icon is still there (the House Name is showing what I entered)

I guess it's time for a disclaimer. HomeMap is still under development, it's v0.1.28
When I feel that the architecture is there I will bump it to 0.2.0 - but it may be another 72 release to that goal
So I try to be backward compatible with the data but if I feel that I have to change I may introduce breaking changes still...

Sorry Jan solar is a automatic typo.

I miss icons for:

smokeSensor>>on/off

curtain >> open/close

alarmSound >> on/off

wallSwitch >> on/off

 

Copy paste and modifying but no luck

Others I will wait till you add the possibility to create user icons.

Thanks for the good work you are doing.

[jgab 2,647]

The wallsSwitch, what fibaro type is it? com.fibaro.x...

Does it work if you set it to widget "binarySwitch" ? (of course not the right icon, but does the react to changes)

[jgab 2,647]

What type is alarmSound ? What kind of device?

I understand and agree fully, your development is already amazing and you add recently very importanf features.

 

For my own, I need, before making any upgrade, to first read fully the README.md file which very comprehensive🙂

Jan,

What type is alarmSound ? What kind of device?  Aeotec siren 6 -- 8 different sounds/icons >> com.Fibaro.sounsSwitch

SmokeSensor >> com.Fibaro.smokeSensor

Wall switch does't work as binary switch, icon does't change if I select the binary switch

Switch_4 buttons  & Switch_8 buttons,  both >> com.fibaro.actor

Curtain>> com.Fiabaro.rollerShutter

[jgab 2,647]

What is the com.fibaro type for the wall switch ?

[Sjakie 156]

for both switches com.fibaro.actor.

Perhaps if possible if add devices to place the icons left side when edit window is open they are behind the screen.

Seems to be a bug that reset the position after restarting the app in the latest version  
All units up on the left was placed in the room 😅

Actually, older versions of HouseMap had a bug where widgets were placed in the wrong place on the map - but it was 2 bugs - that countered each other so widgets were restored in the same place.
The fix now, may cause older versions when restarting to move the widgets....
It was a neccessity to fix this for widgets to restore on the right place when imported on Android or iPad.
