Do you mean this principle to (un)lock a flow? ![Screenshot_20221112-162054_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4741216cf2813034988f2dbf167b5280a456d6b.jpeg) I’ve read a question somewhere about if there’s a possibility to lock a thermostat, to prevent f.i. kids playing with it, or setting the target temperature too high. ---

I have flows that, if the Tado target temperature is set too high then Homey sets it back to a sensible level. Useful to ease the boost function which with our big cast iron radiators can have the house feeling like a sauna quickly ---

Now in the right topic. 😉 I just recently saw this Device Capabilities app and I must say I love it so far but it also seems a little complicated. I have been playing around with it and the first steps are made but also running into some difficulties. I have created multiple “Control 2 dimmable lights as one” devices for rooms with only two lights and they are all working just fine. It seems to work faster than when I used those lights in the groups app. I have also rooms with more than two lights so I added for one of those rooms another “Control 2 dimmable lights as one” device and added the other lights manually. The manually added lights are not visible in the flow that are created with this device and when I try to adjust the flows with the manually added lights, options are not available. ![Capture_906](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/0/d0682424ed9cd8c830736337db2b09eb4bc63f8e.jpeg) Is there a way to get the code for all manually added lights as well to use in the Homey Api playground? Or if this is not possible, how do I add those manually added lights to the flow with the options that are available for the automatically added lights? Thanks ---

I am not sure what you mean here. The image you show with the “waarde” tag: The tag itself comes from the Trigger/When card: so you are not gonne see that token/tag unless you have the When card and Then card connected through a line.

O, and, please leave templates you use a like: that way it gets higher on the list on peoples UI. Thanks 😉 ---

That makes sense, when I connected the line the tag became available.

You are great! Thanks a lot. I will try to learn more of this app with all of its possibilities. ---

Is it true that the device not available/available feature is not working yet? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/e/9ea7d3cdb8ccdfd7c90b742ecb55f5d709aa6f29.png) ---

O no, it should work, i log every device that turns available and unavailable. That way i found out that a few apps where bad. But why? How do you put your AVD? Through the App cards? ---

Ow so that was also my intention so indeed also check the apps. I have flows when a device is not available that he has to restart the app. So this is not working. I have now made an AVD unavailable via flows but then it does not work either. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f1579d6e14a90ff63daaf3023b187dc620f0145.png) ---

> [@Techniman](#): > > Does anyone know the where to find (devices, fields or other) the “wifi” icon? Hey Techniman, In the App Settings, you can customise the iconlist.: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/f/ffa373c8cd330d6e3aef1c48111c48ba2ac83f69.png) You can change the icon-name, but also the icon itself, by replace them with default icons, about 2000 of them. There you can filter by name. (Wait till the icons are loaded before you can find it, it takes a while to load all icons). After changing an icon that is already in use as capability, you need to restart the App the let it take effect. If you change a icon not in use yet, you do not need to restart the app. filter: wifi ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/9/c9c1c06dd802eca96506e0ce68661b4187f5b738.png) filter: signal ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec5d7ca7f3158133d977c7c850fb2cdde0485dc2.png) What whould you want with the wiki?
