how do you add the icon?
First, you should be using the custom Device Handler found at post 22 in this thread
I wrote a custom device call pressure mat that is the same as the door device but with new icon and message for stepped on and empty. Then I wrote a smart app that does something when stepped on, which is reverse logic from the existing built in open door app. I then took a picture of my mat and used it to override the icon so it looks like a mat. The device code is:

As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable.
All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those:

Download my icon (or use one of your own) and transfer it to your photo library of your phone.
For anyone interested, I created an icon that better matches the ones that SmartThings uses. It has a transparent background so the colors and text still show up.

In the device handler on your SmartThings app, click on the gear icon in the top right corner. Then simply click on the “Set Device Image” link to browse for your icon.
