Spoken too soonšŸ¤—, thought I still should upload icons in advance. See previous adjusted post ---

Version 1.9.8 is in Test: Goto settings to add/change custom icons, then restart App (must happen after icon changes). **Now you can use that custom icon for capabilities!** ---

Cooler than cool, Arie. One small thingy, when I add an icon to an already used ā€˜Statusā€™, a new ā€˜statusā€™ is created. I had to select the new Status again @ Status Indicator, and the old status doesnā€™t disappear. _App restart does not change anything_ ![Screenshot_20220829-151721_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/866a295cd88c4e8dc002d5b5be8b44f442c83ebb.jpeg) > ![Screenshot_20220829-145121_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/a/5a35eca09d695f56344f7d4ca13fcbce46c3d74e.jpeg) . 2nd thingy: I know you automate lots of things, but is it possible to list the capabilities like this: Status Textfield1 Numberfield1 Yes/No field1 Button 1 Textfield2 Numberfield2 Yes/No field2 Button 2 ā€¦ Button10 Camera 1 Camera 2 As I donā€™t use more than 1 or 2 capabilities per category, and cameraā€™s very little. It saves me a lot, a lot of scrolling while setting a device up šŸ¤—šŸ˜¬ _Donā€™t know how other users think about this?_ ---

I will think about it. But at the moment, i allready have started to add labels before groups, like with Cameraā€™s. Thats is gonna be hard when i do it on number based sequence. ---

What happends if you remove the icon from Status and press save? ---

In Test: 1.9.82, settings screen is improved and bugfixed, and changed icons will change in settingspage to reflect new images. Also improved explainations. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > As I donā€™t use more than 1 or 2 capabilities per category, and cameraā€™s very little. For me it changes a lot, currently only have 1 device, but that already has 7 ~~number~~ string capabilities and 1 Boolean, will (eventually?) have 1 with more number capabilities. In the past it was possible to (pre) collapse the groups, unfortunately Athom removed it entirely in some previous update. That would have been the best option IMHO. ---

I didnā€™t knew that Athom had that before, i was gonna request it when i send in my ā€œbugā€ and ā€œmissing featuresā€ list. ---

Selecting a downloaded/created [custom icons](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287/223) during adding a virtual device worked, but now I got this error (v1.9.82) ![Screenshot_20220829-160543_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/b/dba20069d22811f2414e80b75b7f9bbbb001b62c.jpeg) _Picking a listed capability icon still works okay._ ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk What a great app you have built to get everything out of homey. What I still miss is the calculation card to calculate tag in the card it self. Without having to store it in a logic. Even if itā€™s only with number boxes then Iā€™m happy Here example of VD app what i mean. ![Screenshot_20220829-174622](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c69d9469ef492514f525142b0925023ecf4ddde3.jpeg) is this possible in your app? ---
