Local Icons

I believe it is either a bug (or simply by design) that icons (UI7) that are uploaded to:

/www/cmh/skins/default/img/devices/device_states/

are only available when accessing Vera on the local lan. In looking at the contents of that folder, I noticed that the “standard” icons are actually links to files in /mios/www/cmh/skins/default/img/devices/device_states/ which is a read-only folder.

My question is…is there a way (other than posting the icon to a public web server) to get icons to display when accessing remotely? And if posing the icons to a public server is the only way, is this possible to do with something like a public folder on one of the popular cloud drives (like OneDrive, Google Drive, etc?)

Known limitation brought up many times.

A thread for starters:

Thanks…

I may be brave and try and remove the read-only restriction from /www/cmh/skins/default/img/devices/device_states/ directory, place my icon in there, and place a link to my icon in the standard icons directory. (then reinstate read-only permission.) That appears to be how the standard icons work.

I assume this can be done within the Linux command line…I’ll let you know how it pans out.

Or maybe I won’t bother, assuming this is correct and remote access pulls the icons from Vera’s servers…

Correct, Vera pulls the icons from its own servers when viewed remotely.
