Look at the AVD Template for [Unique Text Status Indicator on Device Tile](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-virtual-device-share-your-device/68676/4) > [@Aron\_s-Gravemade](#): > > it’s icon but is is also possible to rename a function and it’s icon. And add custom functions as many as you want? Or more buttons than one? Take a look at the AVD Template: [Changing a button/field name through flows](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-virtual-device-share-your-device/68676/13) It also shows the custom icon you can pick for a list of 80 custom icons, that you can set to any default icon or your own! @Geoffrey_Quiroz, > [@Geoffrey\_Quiroz](#): > > I would like to make a virtual device that can display the same type of variables several times, in order to have a return in one box of several variables or sensors, and if possible to be able to put a personal name. Yes you can, see the AVD of DC. @OH2TH, > [@OH2TH](#): > > Ah indeed it is there. Need to rethink the setup then. Thanks Take a look at the AVD of DC; you can add and change fields whenever, and set the decimals, min/max and step just how you want it! > [@Bonden](#): > > Hi! Thanks for a great app! Would it be possible to implement an option to switch icons for the virtual devices? Hey @Bonden , take a look at the AVD’s of the DC App. Not only can you change a device icon after creation, you can alter the field/capability icons just how you like it. Take a look at the AVD Template for [Living Room Example](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-virtual-device-share-your-device/68676/2), it has three nice custom icons. Well, maybe the icons are not that nice, but you can even upload your own icon! > [@Heula](#): > > What I want is a virtual device that is visible on or off with a luminance value. Hey @Heula, take a look at the App Device Capabilities, it has an Advanced Virtual Device that you can configure anywhich way you want! > [@nytro](#): > > Did anyone manage to do such thing ? any advice . Hey @nytro , with the AVD from DC you can! There are flow cards (which you can execute from HS i guess 😉 ) with which you can set values! > [@Arjan-21](#): > > Let’s say I making a virtual sensor. And use power (kWh) and I want to have more than one inside this. Is there a possibility to get more than 1 of the same inside a device? @Arjan-21 , yes you can, with AVD from DC! > [@Bulletcather](#): > > I want to use these buttons. Hey @Bulletcather , did you figure this out? If not, you can with the AVD’s from DC! > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > So, from top to bottom you see the temperature of my: > -Fridge > -Freezer > -Kitchen Haha nice one! But i guess/hope you have allready changed this now you have a beter way? 😛 > [@MatsHansen](#): > > Hi. > Is it possible to create a virtual sensor device and add multiple temperature readings in it? @MatsHansen , yes you can now! You can add as many as you want and **you can give it custom names and units even**! > [@R5Turbo](#): > > EDIT: so at the end, is it somehow possible to have a limited positioning screen? I only need Top/Down/50% (which stands for somewhere in between 100 & 0%). Ah and optionally a information that the rollershutter is running would be great to 🙂 , but that’s really optional. Hey @R5Turbo, i don’t now if you are still looking for a way, but i just created an AVD for you: [Slider with 3 steps (0%, 50% and 100%)](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-virtual-device-share-your-device/68676/33). **These Advanced Virtual Devices can be easily created:** - Install [Device Capabilities App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/). - Or install [Device Capabilities App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/). (but it has a bug, see below) - Create a new AVD. - Select the mentioned Template and press use Template. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-virtual-devices-virtual-devices-to-simulate-1-or-more-real-devices/1723)._
