But the Homey’s and bridge needed a virtual device
With a custom svg file.

BtW I reported a bug that the custom icons are not yet visible in the flow editor or in shared flows.
This is now on their list as bug.

Bumping this thread cause I personally love the default icons one can choose. The style is really nice and simple…however there are way too few. I would hope that the artist behind the icons get the assignment to create a lot more! :+1:

One not exclude another :wink:

  • Icons from one designer are all more or less in one style
  • One designer/company can (virtually?!?) not provide icons for all devices of the world

And actually… possibility to use custom icons does NOT REQUIRE to use them…

Possible to use material design icons like homeassistant do?

I love HA as well, but I’m sure Athom does not want to be like Ha, or use stuff HA uses :kissing_closed_eyes:

Would be easy to implement a external icon storage, that you can choose from and download the icons you want.
Don’t think material design is HA :laughing:, but I see your point in differencing Homey from HA

+1 for custom icons. This is a basic feature in many smart home controller softwares.

There are a lot of devicetypes etc missing in the current icon library, and there will always be random custom devices that we cant expect in a basic library.

Also would make changing to Homey easier if the users could se the devices their devices represented by the icon / similar icon to what they are used to from previous solution.

I would pay extra for an icon pack. I know that’s against Homey’s ethos. They only charge for backups because they carry cloud storage costs but…

A one-time charge for icons or, even better, an “icon generator tool” that maintains the wireframe style would be so worthwhile!
