Hi Peter, Is there any way to get rid of that leading 0? Show if I want to show the time in the tile, it will only show the time like: 22:15 Instead of: 0 22:15 ---

Show if I want to show the time in the tile, it will only show the time like: 22:15 > Instead of: 0 22:15 In the Web App, yes you can replace it with a Dash (-) by using the Set Status Card with Number and leave number empty. But it will then show nothing in the Mobile App. Athom (might) be working on it, i have had contact about the difference in Web en Mobile App en asked that, since the need to straigten the difference out, the nicest thing for users would be that units wil be displayed with an empty value if the value is empty. And it could be done, because there normally are no apps that leave the capability value empty. Athom didn’t even know about the difference between Mobile and Web when a device capability value is empty. But we will have to wait and see. As a developer, i cannot do anything about how the numbers + units is displayed. Only Athom has the ring of Power for that! 😉 ---

Hello @Arie_J_Godschalk , Thank you again for your exceptional work. I wanted to know if in the area surrounded by my previous message it is possible to put only text without a number. I would like to indicate the states of my vacuum cleaner for example “docking”, “charging” etc… Thank you very much! Edit: I just saw that Dennis had the same question I believe. ---

hey @Peter_Kawa , in the version is just pushed to Live, the variable creation is completly fixed as far as i know: droptokens didn’t get linked correct after creation. This is now solved. The [EV Charger Status Device Tile - AVD Template](https://community.homey.app/t/share-your-device-advanced-virtual-devices-from-device-capabilities/68676/31) import correct now (if you don’t have the variables allready). Still an issue when finding existsing variables i see, fixing it now. ---
