Hi
I’ve been do some cleaning of my SmartThings app to make it easier to find my device.
I have manage my room in the app like that … Light , sensor , temperature , outside , motion , plug , and so on…
But I have a lot of light, I find a way with icon to find my device easier , but there’s not much icon for light .
Here a example that I think we should have more choice for icon .

Lamp icon : for bed room

Fixture : bathroom

Bulb: outside .

We should have more choice for icon , I can take a door sensor to trigger my doorbell for example , I can do a lot with a door sensor .
Another things that I do with a door sensor , Ive hook up a micro switch for my patio door lock !!
My door sensor became a lock(yes only reporting the state, but if can be used in capabilities lock , it will be awesome , I’m dreaming)!!
@nayelyz
Just a suggestion for a better use of the app
Thank you

A ceiling fan light icon would be nice too.

Hey, rooms and devices that don’t constantly re-order themselves would be nice too to make it easier to find devices, but we’ve been asking for that for years with no improvement.

Smartthings likes to make it hard to keep us on our toes. :wink:

On a developer level, there are some icons you can assign to a device but it can be only one per device profile. Here’s a list shared a while ago:

There’s a door bell in that list, for example, this is the info that you would have to include in your device profile’s metadata:

metadata:
  deviceType: DoorBell
  ocfDeviceType: x.com.st.d.doorbell
  deviceTypeId: DoorBell
