No problem, Johnny, and you’re too kind. > [@johnnyDrama](#): > > could be that I’m only using sub-capabilities and the number might only use the main capability? [3 min later] Yep, that was it! Sounds logical, for class `thermostat`. But, hold tight: I took a peek at [OTGW MQTT app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-opentherm-gateway-mqtt/77190) by Robin, it’s just possible to use multiple thermostats using only sub-capabilities. But, you’d use the class `other`, and now you can use the status indicator as you wish (now it’s not trying to ‘be’ a thermostat class) > ![Screenshot from 2024-07-10 00-20-20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/5/959022372fe93abe9d8c321ea1c13b03adaa5aed.png) > ![Screenshot from 2024-07-10 00-20-57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/5/55b825c6ba294a8b1efe4fcc5cd084d395ed5dd6.png) > ![Screenshot from 2024-07-10 00-07-55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/9/a992c18804ec6fcad9444cccfd66bb53baa6fa03.png) > ![Screenshot from 2024-07-10 00-09-15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/0/207f015d41c443d44c7bc078f17863b3011d1cd0.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/users-choice-of-status-indicator-doesnt-work/112548)._
