Blackbird Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Is it possible to get a fountain icon? Also is there ever going to be a way of us adding custom icons? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Geddy Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 @Blackbird isn't this already available to add custom icons? https://wiki.universal-devices.com/UD_Mobile#Download_Image_(URL) 1 Quote Link to comment
Blackbird Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 Oh nice, Ill give that a look. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Javi Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Also Android version 1.1.80 now allows custom icons in Advanced Status Mappings. Coming soon to iOS. Quote Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Here is an icon I found and loaded it up for my fountain. That same website has a bunch of variations as well. https://img.freepik.com/premium-vector/water-fountain-icon-logo-vector-design-template_827767-158.jpg The problem I have with it is that when the fountain is on, I want it to turn red, but setting it to do that just overwrites the entire box with solid red. I could make a second icon that is red, but as far as I can tell, you can only upload an icon from a url. While I could probably figure a way to load an image to a website so that it is accessible by url, is there an easier way? Other issue is that since it is not the default icon, I can only configure a custom icon in the advanced settings section which are triggered to appear only when the conditions you set are met. Since it takes a few seconds for the status of the node to populate, it defaults to the standard icon and then only shows the custom icon after the value is populated. @Javi Edited June 19 by apostolakisl Quote Link to comment

While I could probably figure a way to load an image to a website so that it is accessible by url, is there an easier way? The image must be a PNG for color, other types will color the entire image view port. I ran a simple test below and this appears to work with color and URL. Downloaded the sailing image in PNG format https://fonts.google.com/icons?icon.set=Material+Symbols&icon.query=water&icon.platform=web&selected=Material+Symbols+Outlined:sailing:FILL@0;wght@400;GRAD@0;opsz@24&icon.size=24&icon.color=%23e8eaed Added to Google Drive then followed the example below to get the URL for the icon. Note this is not the shared URL. https://support.exclaimer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4445816657309-How-to-host-images-using-Google-Drive Colors are now honored. 1 hour ago, apostolakisl said: Other issue is that since it is not the default icon, I can only configure a custom icon in the advanced settings section which are triggered to appear only when the conditions you set are met.

However it is possible to use the function "If value is Greater Than or equal to" the lowest possible value then the icon will be populated for all values. This should now honor the Global Color Values. NOTES: I found a bug which may cause the wrong icon to display (view recycled) which will be fixed in the next update. Quote Link to comment
Techman Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 @Javi RE: Icons, I noticed that when you have grouped devices only the primary icon can be changed. Is that by design? Quote Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) @Javi I tried that and it didnt't work. Still just get a red box when I tried to change the color to red. I opened the icon in my photo editor, saved as a png file, uploaded to google drive and then put the id into the format listed on the webpage. You can see it is a png file in google drive. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1iBEDJtkUlm3NYaSeevobRod6QGrtY558 Also, when I open ud mobile after not using for a while, the value isn't populated at all. So why would listing any value or value range trigger the substitution of the desired icon when there is no value at all? I tried "greater than or equal to 0" and it still puts the default icon up for about 5 seconds until the values populate. EDIT: I found an online tool that lets me replace all the pixels of one color with a different color. So I can just have two icons of different colors that are otherwise identical. It appears that UD mobile access the URL every single time it uses the imgae. Correct? Rather than download and save the image? Edited June 19 by apostolakisl Quote Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) I got it to work with two url's one for each color. But what is not clear is why they both show up as blue on this website and the one is red and the other blue on UD mobile. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1YggIgfB681Rp3bLwxBVPOA2wNQY6Gpgv https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1iBEDJtkUlm3NYaSeevobRod6QGrtY558 Edited June 19 by apostolakisl Quote Link to comment

On the Home Tab? If the group is expanded then the icon should be visible. The Device Dashboard does not yet have colors/icons implemented for groups. 3 hours ago, apostolakisl said: @Javi I tried that and it didnt't work.

I opened the icon in my photo editor, saved as a png file, uploaded to google drive and then put the id into the format listed on the webpage. This likely will not work as the image does not have an alpha channel so the color will fill the entire image. The test described above works, so if this does not work with another image it is due to how the image was created. 3 hours ago, apostolakisl said: Also, when I open ud mobile after not using for a while, the value isn't populated at all.

My mistake this also requires "If value equals NULL". for the null value, unless this is a favorite. 3 hours ago, apostolakisl said: It appears that UD mobile access the URL every single time it uses the imgae.

They show up as blue and read in my browser could be the browser does not support a property of the image like tint (the fill color UDM uses to color the image) Quote Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 For reasons that aren't clear, they now show up as blue and red despite doing nothing. Quote Link to comment
apostolakisl Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) This one tile lacks several of the choices like advanced status config. Edit. Looks like you must have a display node to get advanced options. However also it is showing the wrong icon in upper left corner. That is supposed to be a light bulb. It does show a light bulb after a while. Edited June 20 by apostolakisl Quote Link to comment

But advanced options is the only way to use a custom icon even if you don't want to map to any particular value. I ended up putting a node in there that is always off as a work around.

This is not tied to a value. Quote Link to comment

No matter, they are the correct color on UD mobile. Quote Link to comment

At a higher level this is likely due to the browser, operating system, and/or device not supporting the tint color of SVG/PNG images, so the original color is shown and not filled with the specified tint property. I'll try to add mappings to cover all null and non-null values, but may be some time. Quote Link to comment
