Custom capability button with custom icon

Developers
1

Hey all,

I am working on a xbox companion app right now. I implemented a list of custom buttons to enable controller buttons (nexus, dpad and xyab). They are working on the device but I really want to give them the proper icons. But if I set the nexus button to my custom icon I still get the default button icon.

My capability json looks like this

controller_nexus.json
{
“type”: “boolean”,
“title”: {
“en”: “Nexus”
},
“getable”: false,
“setable”: true,
“icon”: “./assets/nexus.svg”
}

Am i wasting time on this or am I doing it wrong? The svg is in de {root}/assets

@Kaoh does not look wrong. I did not use a leading dot for the path in my json icon path though but I don’t know if that makes a difference. Try “icon”: “/assets/nexus.svg” and see if it makes a difference.
If not then you might need to check your icon file.

and you use them for buttons? not only for sensors or alarms?

4

oh, good point. Only for sensors up until now. Are you on the developer slack? Maybe someone there knows more about it

I don’t think that is possible now. It seems they have just the fixed set of button types and that’s it.

ok, then ill stop trying to make it work :joy:
