Display ​

In the "Display" tab you control how a device is presented in the nomos app. Here you can set the status display, show or hide elements, rename them, change their order, and choose which elements appear in the screensaver.

INFO

Note: If Display Device in Apps is turned off, the remaining settings of this tab are dimmed and the note The device is not shown in the apps. appears. For multimedia devices, only the Elements list can be adjusted (visibility, naming and order); status display and screensaver are not available here. Elements that the app renders as a combined media widget (e.g. cover, title, playback controls, volume, remote keys) are managed automatically and do not appear in the list.

Settings ​

At the top of the tab you decide where the device appears at all. Changes are applied immediately.

  • Display Device in Apps – When turned off, the device does not appear in the nomos app; it remains available for automations and scenes.
  • Use Device with Voice Assistants – Makes the device available to voice assistants.
  • Display Device in Matter if possible – Only shown if the Matter skill is switched on. Passes the device on via Matter to paired ecosystems, provided its type can be represented there. Only selectable while Use Device with Voice Assistants is turned on.

Status Display ​

The status display determines which element of the device is shown as the main status on the device tile in the app (e.g. the current temperature for a thermostat).

  • Use the dropdown to choose the desired element.
  • Only elements that are marked as visible in the Elements list are selectable.
  • If the currently selected element is hidden, the status display is reset automatically.

Elements ​

In the "Elements" section you manage the individual mappings and properties of the device as they appear in the app.

Visibility ​

  • Each element can be shown or hidden via a checkbox.
  • Hidden elements do not appear in the app but remain available for automations and scenes.
  • Some elements are already hidden by the device profile (e.g. internal helper values) and remain hidden by default.

Naming ​

  • Use the input field next to each element to assign a custom name.
  • The original name from the device profile is shown as a placeholder.
  • Leaving the field empty resets the name to the default.

Display Order ​

  • Use the drag handle to the left of each element to change the display order via drag & drop.
  • The chosen order is applied in the app.
  • If the device profile sorts its elements into groups, for a vehicle for example Charging, Climate, Vehicle and Position, they appear here under the same headings as in the app. Move a group as a whole with the drag handle next to its heading; an element moves only within its group. Elements without a group come last under More.

Click "Save" in the bar at the top of the page to apply changes to visibility, names, and order.

Screensaver ​

In the "Screensaver" section you choose which elements of the device appear in the app screensaver.

  • Activate the checkboxes for the desired elements.
  • The selection is applied immediately – no separate save needed.
  • You change the order with the drag icon; it is applied with "Save" in the bar at the top.
  • Only mappings that are suitable as status information are offered.

Reset to Defaults ​

The "Reset to Defaults" button at the left of the bar at the top resets all customizations of this tab to the device profile values:

  • Visibility of all elements
  • Custom names
  • Display order
  • Status display

Elements hidden by the device profile remain hidden. The screensaver setting is not affected by the reset.
