iHost 'Display as' device custom icons

Hi guys…

I like to customise the icons for my devices makes it very easy to see what each icon does.

Unfortunately it seems you cannot customise RF + Group devices.

Also I have had problems recently which has required a couple of complete rebuilds, not a happy task! Is there a way to drag and drop existing scenes to speed up recreating a lot of similar scenes. I am aware you can duplicate a scene when you are manually creating one but being able to select an existing scene would certainly speed things up?

If neither of these are possible it may be a useful suggestion for a future update.

Finally, if I had to replace my existing iHost would it simply be aa matter of creataing a backup and saving the file to import into the new iHost?

Regards to all.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for your detailed suggestions and feedback!

  1. Custom icons: Currently, iHost does not support custom icons for group devices. Regarding RF devices, if convenient, could you please provide a screenshot of the interface where you are unable to customize the icon?

  2. Feature suggestion – drag‑and‑drop existing scenes to speed up creating similar scenes: Could you please describe in more detail how you envision this working? For example, would you like to use an existing scene as a template and drag it to directly generate a copy, or would you prefer to select multiple scenes at once and copy them? Your specific use case will help us better prioritise this feature. We will submit this suggestion to our product team.

  3. Backup and restore when replacing iHost: A new iHost can import a backup file from an old iHost (provided the backup file itself is not corrupted). However, please note that an old iHost cannot import a backup created by a new iHost.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
