HomeKit change Symbol

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hi,
how can I change a symbol in HomeKit?

Example:
I have integrated my Fibaro-CO-Sensor in openhab2 and HomeKit. Works well.
Now I want to integrate the alarm_co with home.items:

Switch HK_CO_Sensor_Alarm
    "Dash Warmwasser"
    [ "Switchable" ]
    { channel="zwave:device:2f243bdf:node3:alarm_co" }

This is shown as a Switch:
20190210_164550000_iOS%20(2)

But I want the symbol of a “Security System” like this:
20190210_164543000_iOS%20(2)

I have tried changing the to

Switch HK_CO_Sensor_Alarm
    "Dash Warmwasser"
    [ "SecuritySystem" ]
    { channel="zwave:device:2f243bdf:node3:alarm_co" }

But that doesn’t work… the item will disappear from the HomeApp on the IPhone.
What could be the issue?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
the tag “Security System” ist not supported in V.2.4 of the Homekit ad on.
If you want to update your Homekit ad on take a look at:

Hi Peter,

sorry, i don’t get it.
On this github-site, there is version v2.4.
