Change icons for push switches

Hi, i would love to be able to change the icons of littery every switch. I got this situation where simple push switches are used a lot in my home. The problem is, with the push switch you can not choose a icon, you only get the power icon.

Now i got a permanent tablet hanging on the wall wich always shows a room plan map of the kitchen and living with all the buttons my family needs and acts as a thermostat. It would be nice for my family that they can see what the button does before pressing it. I ofcourse know what those buttons do but that is because i program it and my family isn't that techy. Ofcourse they can learn what button does what, but if i remove or add new buttons they are irritated and i have to explain again why our house really needs domoticz :mrgreen:

* tv icon for the tv-on button,
* a receiver icon for the amp on button
* a media player icon for the intell nuc WOL message button
* a speaker mute icon for the mute button
* a wall socket icon for powering on and off the tv & audio

That would make live a lot easyer for my family.

I will post a screenshot of my tablet hanging on the wall with the 4 "family unfriendly" generic buttons.

Greetings, love this software very much!!

This is an old request not yet implemented (same problem for Text sensors) . It seems that the implementation of new devices is the priority.

Oke, i searched the forum and indeed it has been opted before. So i guess it won't be done then :(

Seems there are some work arounds with choosing type's and then icons and using scripts, but actually i want to avoid scripts as much as possible since that would be something new for me to learn. Untill now i could do everything i wan't with domoticz and blockly.

For "push button" workaround, try use normal switch "On/Off" with "Off delay" = 1
