I can use some advice about custom icons.
I learned from the wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Custom_ic ... binterface
At 11. it says I need to upload the new icons (which I downloaded from elsewhere) from _default.rar.
Unpacked and repacked the file to icons.zip
Here's the list of most of the icons present in the zip file.

Code: Select all

When uploading Setup -> More Options -> Custom Items there is the following message.

: erro.jpg (11.09 KiB) Viewed 4897 times

Meanwhile one way or the other the uploaded icons can be located in ~/domoticz/www/images
So I added the uploaded icons to the file switch_icons.txt like

Code: Select all

Alert;Alert;Alert
Azimuth;Azimuth;Azimuth
Blinds;Blinds;Blinds
Ice;Ice;Ice
Lux;Lux;Lux
Moisture;Moisture;Moisture
Override;Override;Override
Radiatio;Radiation;Radiation
Rain;Rain;Rain
Temp;Temp;Temp
Uv;Uv;Uv
Visibility;Visibility;Visibility
Wind;Wind;Wind

After a restart of Domoticz the icons seem more or less present.

Where did I go wrong and what to do to correct it.

The custom icon zip file must contain images and a text file that maps the images to a configuration.

But it seems you have downloaded a set of icons that should overwrite the existing icons in your installation folder domoticz/www/icons

So do not use the icons zip uploader tool but copy-paste and overwrite the new images directly in the folder domoticz/www/icons

Oh.. didnt see you read it, sorry

Try the icon generator that described in Wiki. Works fine.

You should not have unpacked and repacked those in one Zip. You should have imported the seperate zips one by one.

Thanks very much for helping.
I had a problem reading that the zip file should contain the text file as well as the pics.
Everything fine now and changing icons within dzVents is working perfectly.
