Hi,

Im new to Homey (moving from Hubitat) and Im struggling with something that should be really simple. I have a garage door, with an open close sensor, and I want to have an icon that is red when the door is open and green when close.

On Hubitat this is really simple. On Homey it seems to be really difficult, or am I missing something ?

Thanks !!

You mean maybe Status indicator, which you can set Homey mobile app ?

Yes, exactly. I want some easy way to visually represent the status of a contact sensor.

I think the solution is somewhere [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198). The status indicator will reflect the status, I am not sure you can make the background of the tile reflect the status, like a on/off button.
