Openhab2 and additional icons

[pato]

Hi all

Maybe somebody has this already solved. I'm running a fresh openhab2 installation and have installed the classicUI, so that the My.xxxx templates work. 

In the PaperUI -> Configuration -> Services -> Classic UI -> Configure - I've switched the Icon format from Vector to Bitmap.

Then I downloaded some of the template icons, for example the nodes.png one, into the /etc/openhab2/icons/classic/ folder and restarted openhab2 (important). Sadly the icons don't get shown. 

Any further ideas? 

Thanks
pato

Stupid me, found the error. It seems the wget didn't pull the right file. After correctly getting the icon url and downloading it, it works now

Yes, downloading such things works better than using wget. Be patient with yourself. Like all of us, you make errors & (I hope as you're doing) learn from them.

You can make your own icon files by downloading or screen capturing pics, editing & sizing them as necessary, & saving in the expected format.  That's how I've added desired icons.

Hi everyone...

I put my personal extensive collection of OpenHAB icons on Github.

github.com/jimkernsjr/openhabicons

For each icon you will find both SVG and PNG!

I spent alot of time on it, and hope it benefits someone else.

Thanks for sharing, Jim.

Little note to your openhab templates.

For whatever reason, in openhab2, the %d in the .items file doesn't anymore work (which renders the Humidity broken and to only show ERR) and must be replaced by %s.     
The correct line for the My.items must now be:

Number Humidity_Node02 "Humidity_Node02 [%s %%]" <humidity> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:home/rfm_gw/nb/node02/dev49:state:default]"}

Thanks, pato, for catching how OpenHAB2 needs that change in the Number Humidity_Node02 item.

I've put an update about that in various posts.
