Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk , it looks like that when playing with maintenance / setup of device - insights are kept, which are not used anymore.

That’s fine, basically it would mean that upon DC device finalization, it’s always best to remove and re-import given device, or ? …and flows I guess. ---

No, run this in the [WebApi Playground](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground). Change the deviceID **This will remove ALL insights from that device!** ```auto async function exe(deviceId) { let a = await Homey.insights.getLogs(); a = a.filter((x)=>x.uri=='homey:device:' + deviceId); for(var i=0;i **Author:** ![Arie\_J\_Godschalk](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/user_avatar/community.homey.app/arie_j_godschalk/32/63027_2.png) [@Arie\_J\_Godschalk](https://community.homey.app/u/Arie_J_Godschalk)\ **Post date:** [November 15, 2022, 2:44pm UTC](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287/883 "2022-11-15T14:44:11Z") > [@Sharkys](#): > > Btw, would be nice Arie to have some “filtering” capability there - if those icons have names.

The speed was 50 per second. To see and filter all icons, you need to wait till al are done loading (well, if you want to see it). ---

Also added a debounce on the filter fields (so the don’t crash your phone or browser when typing lastly a long word).

Works great - just it wasn’t apparent to me I shall replace the Device ID in ‘exe’ part - the last one. Thank you Arie, it’s marvelous what can be (you can) achieve. So I executed the script and then went for maintenance, checked insights (to trigger some change on the device itself) and saved again - and insight are back without waste - excellent. 😉 ---

> [@Paul\_Scholte](#): > > Is there any way to order them nicely the way I prefer? (Currently, not really, only sort them by (re)creating the fields in the right order by changing all icons for instance at once and pressing save) Well, everytime a field changes certain properties, it is removed and a new one is created: That one will be the last one. I have been thinking about sorting orders, just like i do with the first button. But it’s a heavy implementation: change field order # 1, and all sequential fields must be removed and recreated: this is really heavy for your Homey! I am still trying to think of a better solution before implementing it like this. And placing them in a specific pattern, like side by side: that’s not something a app developer can setup: we only create device fields: Homey creates the UI. ---

Ok, I understand. Probably I will (re)create the fields in the order I want and in triplets. Given the choice I prefer that you keep the app as lean as possible as at the moment my Homey feels the load already. But the app is very useful! ---

> [@Paul\_Scholte](#): > > Given the choice I prefer that you keep the app as lean as possible as at the moment my Homey feels the load already. Yes, well , just for you information: AVD’s are only heavy during creation or when manually adjusting fields. Adding fields, chaning title’s/names etc, thats pretty heavy for Homey. But, beside that, al it does is create “default” devices. DC/AVD’s are not heavy for Homey beside that. And this implementation would also only be hard on Homey while you are changing the fields in the Device Settings. Only think is, i currently already do this for buttons and yes/no fields(as buttons), to make sure that button1 is always the first button: thuse the device-tile-button-action. So, what happens is: if you change for instance the icon for button 1, all buttons after button 1 are removed and re-added. And this is pretty heavy. I have a testcase with a total of 40 buttons: changing button1’s icon will let my Homey run the field updates for about 1 minute! And my homey is not overloaded, i have enough spare memory left. And the testcase for buttons will not happen that easily, because you don’t have that many buttons that fast. But sensorfields would be a different kind of thing, because it would include yes/no (as sensor, which are most), Text and Numbers. And those there are a load more from on many single AVDs. So, indeed, this is something i want to have solved well (in my head), before building it in. ---
