Changing Icon's in the Smartthings App not working (May 2023)

Recently I noticed when I try to change an icon in my Smartthings App, it’s not working. With all the new updates for Matter, is this affecting my z-wave switches?

For example, I have a switch that controls the fan, but now I can’t change the icon to a fan.

A number of people have reported this in multiple threads, it just seems to be a recent change. The best thing is probably to report it as a bug to support. The more people who do that, the more likely they are to consider changing it back.

Thank you! I will submit a report.

May 2023 & my fan device icon edits don’t hold.
They used to show as a fan, but this week they now show as a switch icon. When I edit the icon back to fan, the change doesn’t take.
If this was a known problem in 2015 surely it’s time to get it fixed?

As you noted, you originally replied on a thread that was several years old, and in that time, the issue had indeed been fixed.

However, it reappeared as a new problem within the last week or so, so I have moved your post to the current thread discussing it. :thinking:

I am able to change icons back to the downlight/recessed light again (that was the only one that stopped working for me recently).

Some problem in here. I can only use default icons.
@nayelyz can you please advise.

I’ve just had the same… all devices have gone to their default icons and can’t be changed.

At the same time I’ve had a bunch of devices migrate to Edge drivers after nothing for several months.

Hi, @dotan_shai
I don’t have information about that, have you reported it to Customer Support? This falls into their scope since it is not development/customization related.

Sorry @nayelyz ,
I’m from Israel :israel: customer support never helped none of us.
I will appreciate if you can contact them instead of me … If possible

@dotan_shai, I’ll ask around to see if someone can tell me something, I suggest you take a look at this thread where more users are reporting it. If I get a reply, I’ll share it there.

Thanks for taking a look into the issue. I am having the same problem, all devices reset to their default icon and theres no option to change it.

I subscribe. I also have the same problem, all devices reset to their default icon and theres no option to change it.

Same problem for me. I point out that many in Italy have this problem. Both android and iOS

Yeah I’m here in lovely London and my icons are playing clever devils too. This started only yesterday evening suddenly. Version 1.8.01.22 Android app

Thank you.

Fixed & now back can’t change icons again.

I’m having the same problem on Android. What’s going on? :unamused:

Icons just came back. All as it was before.

Oh, same in Android. :blush::+1:

Confirming the function appears to have been restored. Interestingly, this is seen on the same app version (1.8.01.22 for Android), suggesting that it was a server-side fault.
