Dynamically changing status icon of a connected device

Good day community,

 

I have a connected device represented by a thing. There is a property on the thing called: last connection. I am representing this thing using a label and an icon on the mashup side. This icon should change to a green color when the device is connected and then switch to a red color when the device is offline.

 

How do I go about writing a dynamic service to accomplish this?

Many thanks,

Hi @Tomellache2B

 

You'll need to use isConnected instead of last connection.  And you can use state definitions to indicate the color.
