On my Synology NAS I run Domoticz, which reads out the use of electricity, gas and water. I know it is possible to visualise these values in Homey, by setting the right capability of a Virtual Device:

In Domoticz I run a script that calculates the cost of the used electricity / gas and water. I would like to see that value in Homey too! Is that possible? I tried it with a Virtual device, but get stuck choosing the capability.

Thanks!

Maybe this [Tutorial: Device Capabilities - Homey Apps SDK v3](https://apps-sdk-v3.developer.homey.app/tutorial-device-capabilities.html) can help.

Thanks @DaneedeKruyff  
I will pick a capability from a sensor and (mis)use that.

Thanks!
