Title: Is it possible to reverse the Door/Window Icon Level setting?
Post by: Acorlin on February 01, 2016, 12:25:39 AM

I have an AEON Aeotec Dry Contact Switch on a gate opener. The only safe connection I can make to the opener is via an existing micro switch.

When the gate is closed the gate opener micro switch is open and the dry contact z-wave device Icon in HG shows the "door" as open (level 1). When the gate is open the icon shows closed (level 0).

Is there a way to reverse the icon in HG software?
Thank you.
Alan

Hi,
I don't think so ...
You can change the icon to a static one that didn't change the states (open / close), but not very usefull ...

Are you sure it's the good way ?
In positive case, perhaps you can post a request on github :

I suggest a feature request or open an issue as nolio suggested.  Alternately, you could create a virtual module via code that is reverse of the actual contact switch.  You could pretty easily accomplish this via C#.  Then use that virtual module for the widget.

Thank you both for taking the time to help me. I am not a C guru and am just learning. I took your suggestion and posted at "https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/issues"

Thanks again.
