Custom arrangement features and controls on the device card

[hembhagat]

As far as I have explored the Plugin SDK, I do not find any way to control how the features and controls show up on the device card. Obviously, there are Device and Feature types (as well as subtypes) that help in changing the appearance of the features and controls on the device card, but again they are fixed formats. What if I want to have some custom arrangement for features and controls on the device card? Is there any way to do it?

Consider the following scenario for a better understanding of my requirement.


Here I have three features, Power to turn the device On/Off, Volume to change the volume of the device, and Input to change the input to the device. If I use the Media device type I won't have the On/Off and the Input controls on the device card. I would like to have the device card something like the below,



Is there a way to achieve this?

No you can't

alexbk66 Is there documentation showing the UI for each EDeviceType, and EFeatureType (and their subtypes)? Basically how features will be arranged in a particular device type. The official API documentation just mentions a description of the types and nothing about how they are arranged in the device card.

There's a couple of pages, but in general, documentation is not the strong side of HST
