Door Status as text item?

[ggriesse]

Newbie Question

im trying to represent the status of my garage door (open/closed) as TEXT , currently it has a dynamic ICON using garagedoor , works perfectly , however i wish to add the Status received via the Door sensor (MQTT)

I want it to show up something like below in the IOS App …

“dynamic Icon” Garage Door 1 OPEN / CLOSED

in my sitemap i just have

Text item=GarageSensor1

Ideas ??

Secondly how do show a Push Button type switch instead of a slider ?
as in http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/apps/ios.html
the middle screen shot showing button Switch ??

Thx
Greg
