[Custom capabilities] NumberField displayType doesn't show the unit

Developer Programs Support

@nayelyz,

Another thing that is happening and I can’t find an explanation or if I have an error.
Units defined in a custom capability are not displayed in the app and are displayed correctly in my.smartthings.com

This is the capability:

Thanks

Update:
This happens also in the previous version of the app, if you want change this post to other thread

At a glance, it seems there are no issues with the capability configuration but when you send the capability events to the device, do you include the unit as well?

Does not include units in my driver events.
In other types of display type it is not necessary to send the unit to be displayed, as in state or slider

Sunrise Offest and Sunset Offset displayType:State shows min units

I will try to send Units in the event

I know, I just want to check if there’s a difference. I’ll make some tests on my side as well :smiley:

Sending the units in event function are not shown in the App either

device:emit_event(local_Hour_Offset.localHourOffset({value = command.args.value,  unit = "hr"}))

Hi! Just following up with this issue.
I was able to replicate the issue in another integration type so, it seems it’s related to the app’s plugin.
I already reported it so, I’ll keep you updated.

Has there been an update on this? I am seeing that when I use the state display type that my units do not show up.

Hi @Craig_DuBois
There hasn’t been any change in a long time.
There has been a hub firmware update to 45.8

Thank you @Mariano_Colmenarejo for the quick reply!
