Dummy Text Switch, what's the point?

[Evelen]

Ok.

Just wondering, Why has Domoticz virtual text dummy switches?
how do we use these? and to for what?

Examels`?

Ive got alot of em, 3x of them show what Plex is doing throughout the house, one shows the text on the front of my Pioneer AVR, 2x show caller ID for my 2 phone lines and provide a log of calls.

They need to be updated with a json call, see https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_ ... ext_sensor

aha, nice, looks like usefull point.

Is it posible to change the "text" logo?

you'd have to locate and replace the image in the filesystem, and then continue to do so after each update..

or write your own theme, the custom icon uploader only works on switches, it has yet to be expanded to other devices.
