I love this 👍🏼👍🏼 One aditional request, can you add a flowcard that triggers when the device tile itself is pressed (as if it was a normal button device)? That would really be awesome 🕶 ---

I’ve played around with it a bit, and it’s brilliant! Thank you very much. Like others already mentioned, in the mobile app not all field get updated (well at least the status field when a text is added) but it does work in the webapp / desktop app. It would be great if in a future version version you could give the text/number/status/tes-no field a name but that’s a minor thing. Donated a few beers (or coffee), cheers! ---

Please note that i will make changes today to include, for example, names to fields. Meaning, you probably/possibly need to recreate the device after some updates today. Now to work 😉 ---

How do I show the extra numbers in the devise icon? I made a flow to update 3 numbers, the virtual device works and displays these 3 in the settings page. But for the actual icon, I need to select just 1 ![Screenshot_2022-08-25-15-56-30-151_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/3/6316489848915669f6b249ec72f8a199e485e94b.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2022-08-25-15-56-24-986_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/6/96b3bf25bda37b89e0d92d202ae3e0f5ee42f866.jpeg) ![IMG_20220825_155917](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/2/b231d17e93b9308c8e02b5b453439dd3fcf85b0f.jpeg) ---

In the mobile App or on Web in Small Grid, you can only have one Status Indicator. Allthough you can use the button as onoff and use it as second indicator (white or black). ---

Do I remeber wrong when I think yesterdays version did displayed multiple information? I thought it also displayed a timer value that I setup with the chronograph app. Not sure I it was the mobile or desktop app though… ---

Arie, I made a start with a device description for the app store. Maybe it’s too long, or boring 😅 : 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 ---

Works like a charm to refresh the status.
