Icons why so limited

I’m trying to setup some lock groups and wondered why are the icons so limited :person_shrugging:

There doesn’t apear to be a lock icon for example :locked:

Why can’t we just use emoji icons?:thinking:

It seems like a decision was made years ago and needs some serious rethinking in 2025….

That’s what comes to my mind when looking at capabilities for smart lights that haven’t changed in years and lack many features offered by Zigbee and Matter lights so they need custom drivers.

Or the “Held release” event for buttons, can’t believe it’s that difficult to add a new element to the capability enum and add the translations for the app.
