I allready have a settings page (in develope) which i completed yesterday. But i know of **no** way to use a icon from the ./userdata folder, and that (and ./tmp) are the only locations i can save images. Which App is that one? ---

All the work is allready done actually. I just cannot get the files that are on Homey to load. I know how to do it for dynamic images etc, but as far as i know there is no way for me to save an image on a location that can be used by iconobjects. ---

It’s the virtual device app, Arie. When I press ‘Bestand kiezen’, I can open any folder on my phone or laptop. I didn’t mean custom icons stored on Homey itself… But like I wrote, maybe in the future ---

Version 1.9.76 is in test. I havent have much time to bugfix anything. But goto settings, upload .svg (only .svg!) and then create a device, now you can pick the icon. ---

Wow, that was quick! I did some tests. I uploaded 4 .svg icons, which are used on VD (by Arjan) devices, to be sure they’re valid ones. But while adding a device: ![Screenshot_20220828-003108_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/07161545da11077ba0f3808690e3bdcd6a8f6403.jpeg) This screen disappears by itself after ~10 to 15 secs, and then the new device with the default icon appears in the zone. There’s no ability to select an icon. I restarted the app and tried again, but no difference. If you need anything, let me know. Tia and no hurries ---

All options are now in the Show as dropdown. Ifon one has the Indicator only option, this is de same has hide en disable. ---

If the “Indicator only” option is the same as setting the “Show as On/Off” to “No” in 1.9.74 that would be great, but I don’t have that option: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/1/319a13450c21ae5e2505f33aafac29fa2e769c2f.png) 😨 ---

I really like the new virtual device(s) you’ve introduced, opens up a lot of possibilities. I did however found a bug with the latest version (.76) when you remove a camera it will not remove the capability properly (or just the run listener?) completely breaking said device, in turn breaks the GUI (web, mobile app and dev pages → devices). Chrome console says: ```auto TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addListener') at Camera.js:111:22 ``` Also send you a log, maybe it specifies what goes wrong: 2da9d178-9fb1-455e-8902-a28a6d17e872 Trying to re-add the camera capability doesn’t fix it.
