Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nickustinov/itsyhome-macos/issues/91

Many of my Meross smart plugs and switches that control lights are showing in ItsyHome as 🔌 instead of 💡 which is how they are configured to "Display As" in HomeKit.

For instance, I have a room with 3 smart switches, all the same model, and 2 shows as 🔌 and the other shows as ⏻

What is the logic for selecting which icon to use for devices?

Hi! You can pick your own icons, click the icon in Settings - Home and use any you prefer. Otherwise Homekit does not expose what you configured as what in the Home app.
