I see!

You can add a custom status, and a tile show it’s active/inactive state like this below  
(I used a contact sensor to “lock & unlock”)

_ **BLL Expression =** _  
`$value == true ? "✅️ Locked" : "🔏 Unlocked"`  
(meaning, if the value of the reflected device capability is equal to true, return `✅️ Locked`, else return `🔏 Unlocked`)

ℹ  
There’s one catch though, it uses additional resources, meaning the more statusses with BLL expressions, the more memory the Device Capabilities app will use.  
I had 20 AVDs with this construction, and I rebuild the status fields with flows, just like:
