Hi Arie, thanks for all the efforts. Running v2.0.5 In the end, after quite some time and some go-back and open Advanced settings again, I can scroll 'till the end.

Hi, and thank you for this app. Its the best thing since sliced bread! I’m using the latest test version, v2.0.5. Is there a limit to how many, or which type of fields you can set as status indicator? I have one device with a mix of text, numeric and yes/no fields, but only the numeric ones can be selected as status indicator. ---

Thanks guys, it was worth the wait. I now have a Homey Advanced Pro 🤓✅ I made a small showcase 😊 ## Now it's possible to change Device Name as well! This can be achieved by installing the [H.O.O.P. app v1.4.5](https://store.homey.community/app/nl.qluster-it.HOOP) _That’s it, the flow card to set the device name is now available_. - With Advanced flow: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Sln01HbPI) - Standard Flow ---

> [@luguber](#): > > but only the numeric ones can be selected as status indicator. Thats Homey default. Status indicators show a value, and the capability for it, say, kWh. So a plain textfield can’t be selected as Status indicator. _However, it is shown on the web app device tiles though, while they are able to show all fields._ **So, the magic Arie did here, is:** **Make the status indicator’s capability part editable!** So, at ‘Number’ you enter a fake value, like `0`. At ‘Text’ you can enter your text you want to be shown. What you really do “under water”, is entering a custom capability name 😊🙃 Use this card: > ![Screenshot_20220907-143937_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/e/9e9443075cc4d82d2f1fca6bd217748829b3e8f5.jpeg) Take a look at the flow at my previous post. ---

Yes, I’m using this way now. It just doesn’t look so clean with that random number in front. And it made me wonder since, i.e. the Kodi app can have play and pause symbol when you play something. Lamps can have a ball off different colors. My door have a lock symbol, and then there are the battery symbols. So somehow it is possible to not only have numbers as status indicator. I haven’t seen any with only text though.
