You’re welcome.  
My bad, this is not done with the ‘standard’ Virtual Devices app, but indeed with the Device Capabilities app. _I did not pay (enough) attention to the app topic._

That is, if possible, an option for an Advanced Virtual Device.  
It’s up to Arie, and you’d best create an issue as type "feature request for that, so Arie can keep track on his changes and requests.  
You can find the link to the issue tracker by going to the app store, look up the app, scroll down to “support” or “Issues - Report an issue”

In the meantime, you can get/set Homey logics with an AVD using flows.

You can use any .svg icon you like,  
but the [AVD has a huge set of icons to choose from](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198/164)

I see now you mean “mode” as VD device. I never got that working (or don’t understand how it should work).  
Yes I’m also Dutch, but the topics in here are language specific. App topics like this one are in English, so Dutch and non-Dutch have access to all the info in here. 🙃

I’m wondering, why do you trust Google, when you’re concerned about your privacy and security?
