I have added all default boolean capabilities with from the sensor. > [@Caseda](#): > > Contact/Motion alarm beside the regular “alarm” for the yes/no capabilities, with that you can active a zone, just a regular “alarm” won’t do this. I just tested it, and you need to activate Create Flowcards for that to work (which is in many cases if you want default Homey behavior). Step is being added right now. ---

> [@Arie\_J\_Godschalk](#): > > I just tested it, and you need to activate Create Flowcards for that to work (which is in many cases if you want default Homey behavior). Yeah, already added it into some devices 😁 the new interface really makes it easy, even on mobile. Unfortunately it also overwrites the icons of those capabilities 🤔, low key finding that annoying. ---

Indeed, it uses the default capabilities’ icon, not the custom one. ---

I see you already changed for that behaviour in the latest update by auto hiding the icon input 😋. Does free up for some more custom icons I guess. ---

In Test: Show As Lists are order. by special index and then by name (some will stay at the top or top few). We can later translationobjects in it, and then order by language. The once’s that must stay at top, will. ---

You can just pick a random Icon that’s already in use for something else 😋. ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk Still looking forward if you could support something like this. I am trying to create a device that allows me to switch my heating/lighting/… to the settings: on/automatic/off and this approach suggested by @Le_Cactus might just do the trick. ---

Well that is possible already, so look no further 😉 I did it with advanced flows, but even with a handfull of regular flows and the right settings for button1 this work flawlessly ---

One thing I noticed with this new implementation is that Homey really doesn’t like that the newly added device _has no class_ yet, and sets the device unavailable when you interact with it in any way (like renaming it) until you set a class and reboot the app (or set it available again manually). Perhaps a default (other) class would be nice to prevent this. 😃 Edit: seems like adding the class as the very first thing (and the only one) still puts the device as unavailable.
