Title: How To Add Device Icons To HG?
Post by: gcoupe on February 17, 2015, 03:06:44 PM

I see that it is possible to choose different device icons for a module. There are currently 47 generic icons to choose from at:
C:\Program Files\HomeGenie\html\pages\control\widgets\homegenie\generic\images\icons

I have a couple of switches controlling water pumps, and I'd like to add a new icon to the list. I've made a new icon (96x96, PNG format) and placed it in that directory. However, even after restarting HG, it doesn't appear in the list. What else do I need to do? Is it in fact possible to extend the list of icons?

Thanks.

Gene said that his intent was to let users create their own icons for modules, so I assume it is possible.  I haven't heard of anyone implementing their own icon, so perhaps the feature has not been tested.

I'm curious - what list? I've never seen a list of icons to choose from. There's the list of device types, but that's the only list I know of. Not that there aren't lots of things I haven't found yet.

If you go to configure->groups and modules->any group->any module

Select the icon next to the name and it will display a list of a couple dozen icons to choose from.

How about that! It looks like it's hardcoded in HomeGenie/html/index.html. I don't know if it's as simple as just adding it to that list or not, though.

Is it possible you could modify the modules.xml file to change the icon?  I haven't looked for the icon name in that location, so it may or may not be there.  If it's not there, I don't know where else it would be stored.
