Lol, you don’t need the {{round…}}, but i guess you can 🙂 probably easier then Math.round etc. ---

Yes, old habit😁 I guess when the numberfield “Decimal” setting is set to `1`, it rounds to 1 digit by itself? ---

If you use a temperature (target) and then a temperature (measure), the will be combined on one tab. You can thus combine 5 thermostates in one device. ---

Still hoping anyone can help me: - Think of a good name for the device, since Virtual Device doesn’t quite cut it. - A Good short explaination for the Store. ---

> [@Arie\_J\_Godschalk](#): > > A Good short explaination for the Store. It has become very difficult, Arie 🙃 Here’s some device names: The Magic Device, the Anything Device, the build-it-yourself Device, The Device 2.0, Swiss Knife Device, the Unlimited Device. Or how about: The Advanced Device. I made [a start](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287/102) the other day. ---

Hey Peter, Indeed, i saw what you wrote: > Free configurable multi-purpose virtual device. > > All settings adjustable via action flowcards > -1 Status indicator: any character > -Up to 5 fields each for: > -Text > -Numbers > -Yes/No (optional alarm indicator) > -Buttons (on/off or push) > > Flows: The values are available in greater/less than triggercards However, i don’t know if people will get a real feeling about the device/what it can do. And, you now have Buttons (on/off or push). Well, it has got a lott more right now, and if we write it al down, i am afraid it will get to complicated. I am more looking for sort of a one-liner, or a one-sentence liner. ---

Yea it has sooo many possibilities atm. Very difficult to make a one sentence description. What stands out for me is the free configurable status indicator, with custom text and units. Man, my head spins of this 😅 ---

The app is indeed a Swiss army knife. Perhaps it would be an idea to show in another thread by means of examples what all is possible. This will attract the attention of many who do not yet understand this app. ---

Yes @Peter_Kawa This is work with the expression card. What can i do with the option show as ? ![Screenshots_2022-08-30-18-08-35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/f/7f92585f6d328639828a2c99db886e34bd1deb4e.jpeg) Maybe it’s an idea to choose multiple device types and not everything in one device. But still keep a total device for people with everything in one. Lose the overview of one total device with so many options. Name for it Rocket device ---

Sorry i meant show as After looking at the option I think I know what you mean. It’s the picture on the tile. Am I right? ![Screenshots_2022-08-30-19-55-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/d/0d8e0ea706c9eef0852cc663be3973a0f8138ea3.png) ---

In this new or future version, is it possible to give the device an on/off capability without a button? What I’m looking for is a device that acts like a button when clicked in the mobile app, and only a flow can turn it on or off (and thus undim/dim the tile color). Preferably it even doesn’t have button in the UI for the on/off function. Or is there no possibility to give a device the on/off capability without having the tile act as the on/off switch? TIA, keep up the good work! ---

Yes, just Hide the first button as indicator and leave it to always true. Now make a second/OnOff button and create flow cards for it. ---
