Hi, is it possible to change the ui_button icon via msg? This works for the label, color and background, but not for the icon.

Yes. Take a look here node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/config-fields.md ## UI Widget configuration via msg.ui_control The following configuration properties of ui widget nodes can be set by using a `msg.ui_control` property on a msg. Multiple properties of the node can be set at the same time. For example you can use a change node to set msg.ui_control to JSON `{ "min":10, "max":50 }` **Note**: It is still recommended that nodes are configured via the editor in order to preset the default values. |widget |property |type | notes / example |--- |--- |--- |--- |ui_button |color |string | not needed | |bgcolor |string | not needed | |icon |string | on refresh | |format |string | not needed | |tooltip |string | on refresh |ui_chart |look |string |"line","bar","horizontalBar","pie","polar-area","radar" | |legend |boolean | | |interpolate |string |"linear","step","bezier" | |nodata |string | This file has been truncated. show original But limited (on refresh). I do not know out of my head to initiate a refresh.

You can always use the label field to display icons, either directly with an emoji or with html tags for a font awesome icon for example.

See this example here [image] Momentary Button with animated icon Dashboard @dceejay FYI Dave, running that flow, once you press the button, it goes into a loop. If you watch the debug, every 3 seconds you get two debug entries both showing false.
