I’d suggest to use the Advanced Virtual Device. It can take ~~up to~~ over 10 capabilities for text/numeric/boolean/OnOff and has picker and cam possibilities , and the status indicator can be filled with anything.

You can write the web request values to these capabilities with flow cards;  
Numeric & boolean values can also be logged to Insights.

An example:

> Interface & Insights For anyone interested: I created an [advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) to get the latest values on a device tile, and to record these to Insights at the same time. How it can look Device setup Flow Insights
