Questions about customizing Map components.

hello. I am inquiring about the Milestone Map (not Smart Map).

I would like to detect an Event and change the icon of the Map Component, and I have a few questions for you.

1. is it possible to change the icon of the built-in ‘Camera’ in the main toolbox based on its status?

- I’ve seen in related posts that the icon for SensorMonitor can be changed based on the State value, but not for Door. :

  1. Changing Map Icon according to sensor status
  2. Change icon on event

Is there a way to recognize the Component of a particular camera on the map and change the icon of that camera?

(For example, utilizing FQID or IP to identify it, and only change the icon for that Component).

2. If we can’t change the icon of the camera, can I detect a click on the SensorItem? I want to create a “Preview” like feature for the camera component.

- The example included a context box, but what I would like to create is a logical connection to a specific camera to show a preview. Is it possible to detect item clicks?

I would appreciate a link to a relevant post or an example.

I look forward to your answer.

Thank you.

Only the built-in icons for the camera can be used.

You can only interact with the map by an Event Server plugin, and you cannot detect the item click and have things happen on the map.

There are a number of ideas how Milestone could enhance the maps, and it is not a first time something like this is suggested.
