Can't change switch icon

Configuration
1

I want to change the icon to the Flash icon for a couple of switches. My Wemo uses the flash as standard but a couple of Xiaomi switches use a plug.

I have tried this:

switch:
  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    name: UseNET Switch
    icon: mdi:flash
    host: !secret usenet-switch-ip
    token: !secret usenet-switch-token
2

have you tried using the customise section to change the icon?

No I only have it configured in configuration.yaml
I have other icons set in config yaml like the terminal and configurator…

4

in your customize.yaml try something along the lines of

switch.usenet_switch
  icon: mdi:flash

Hmm… adding it into customise stopped my Wemo switch being configured (It was only using the discovery component). So I manually added that… It never ends lol.

oh right! I had no idea something like that would happen. I don’t use ‘discovery’ as I like to have control. All devices are assigned static IP’s from my router and are manually coded into HA. One to remember though!
