Change standard icon

Configuration Frontend
1

I created a sensor template for formatting the date… check

But how does a guy change the frontend icon from the ‘eye’ to whatever he wants? There is no unique id and there really is no state…it’s just the date.

date

Thank you!

Check the options for the card you’re using. If that’s an entities card then you can set an icon for an entity, as well as rename it and more.

There’s also advanced customizing options.

I appreciate the ideas… but… Customizing entities doesn’t really tell me much I read that… I have this within a group soooooo a guy still isn’t quite sure how that works…

- type: entities
          <<: *card_mod_transparent
          entities:
            - sensor.round_tempkettle
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_humidity
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_feels_like
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_uv
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_wind_speed
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_wind_gust
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_rel_pressure
            - sensor.budd_st_weather_dew_point

There’s a nice example at the bottom:

entities:
  - entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm
    name: Alarm Panel
  - device_tracker.demo_paulus

in your case:

entities:
  - entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm
    name: Alarm Panel
    icon: mdi-calendar

for instance

Can’t Thank you enough. Didn’t realize under ‘entities’ that I could again add ‘entity’… just another thing I learned.

Thank you!
