Hi,

Is there a repository for icons, like the default voltage symbol? Some of our custom values could just use the default voltage icon for example. Where can we find the lighting bolt icon for example?

I was wondering the same…do I have to upload and define every icon as asset, even I know those are standard ones ?

If you are using custom capabiities, then yes, you have to provide a svg as asset and defined in capability definition.  
Just copy the original svg from WebApp/developer console and store as svg 😁🤷‍♂️

I agree, that it would be very valuable to all developers so that we can create high quality content for homey - and not just partners, ☹

In the mean time, over the years I have pulled together some of the offical icons, hit me up and ill see if I have what you need but Ronnys suggestion also works.

Good point, I’ll bring this up internally. Would be nice for community developers to access the official icons as well 🤔

To dream big - a global icon store, with WWID 😇

You mean [Material Design Icons - Icon Library - Pictogrammers](https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/)? If only Athom with integrate this…  
Homey’s own icons are ugly and very limited. En svg is not a very attractive method 😉

Late reply to this post but… I really would like to use one of the Homey standard icons for a sensor I’m adding support for. But I don’t understand what you mean by copy the original from “WebApp/developer console”. What is that? Can you explain a bit more? Thanks!

In your browser, open the developer console with context menu on the capability icon.

Now you can see the HTML details:

Then use “my.homey.app” and append the icon url:  
[https://my.homey.app/assets/alarm\_contact-e8cb0a3b.svg](https://my.homey.app/assets/alarm_contact-e8cb0a3b.svg)

You can also check the network traffic to get the url:

Thank you! Also another question, I’m looking to reuse one of the “Device” icons, not a capability icon. Is that possible as well? Many thanks!

Edit: I found out how to get the device icon as well via the browser. Many thanks!!
