Hello,

Is there a way to see the status of a roller blind in the icon .  
So i have a waterleak which can’t be found and must be under the floor of a pool house for the moment we cant repair it be we still need water so i installed a water valve which is controlled by a nano shutter from aeotec . I created a virtual buttons to open and close the valve but it would be nice i there would be a status to see if it is open or closed.

anyone has an idea.

thx

That is possible with an advanced virtual device (which also can operate your valve)

This is definitely a feature that Athom needs to implement. It has already been asked here:

> I would like to see the shutter position as percent value besides the icons as ‘status indicator’. Today I can select between ‘Power’, ‘Energy’ and ‘None’. This belongs to webpage and app.
