Customize switch

Swift3004 · March 28, 2020, 9:23pm

Hey there, I just started using Home Assistant for my home automation setup. I have a question regarding the buttons you can see in the image below

Is it possible to change the icons of the buttons on the right side? If yes, how? I already looked at the documentation, but it’s hard to look for something when you don’t know the name of it. I hope someone could help me out.

I actually don’t know if you can change those icons.

I do know you can make it a single toggle switch, and you can change the icon on the left…

  # In configuration.yaml
  customize:
    # Change this switch to be a toggle.
    switch.oplader:
      assumed_state: false

Thanks for your reply. I know I can change it i to the switch, but I actually need those buttons. The device has some extra controls which react to an extra on or of command.

Makes sense.

There doesn’t look to be a way. Can’t even find a good custom card to do it. Best I found was this one, but even it doesn’t have the options for changing that icon.

You can get up/down arrows if you want with a little hack. You’d create a template cover to control the switch. But that’s all I can think of at the moment.
