Is it possible to show a "On" or Off" status without the possibility to operate the virtual sensor?

For example when I use a virtual switch you can operate it but that is not the idea. It's only for presenting the status. I tried to use the protected option but in that case a Lua script can't change it either.

or when I use a virtual sensor - text. it's possible to show the "on" or Off" status. But in that case You don't see an icon change when activated.

What do you use to overcome this?

From the dzVents Wiki "silent(): Function. No follow-up events will be triggered: mySwitch.switchOff().silent()."
Do you mean this?

The idea is to show an "Off" or "On" state only. Without being able to click on it and accidentally toggle it (like with a virtual switch). A Lua script in the background should be able to change the state.

Edit the dummy switch to a sensor switch like Contact, Door contact, Motion sensor etc. I believe those cannot be switched from User interface. You can change the Icon to the desired one.
