Entity buttons do not support icon templates, see the documents for supported options:
So just create another switch entry like the others for this?
That’s one way. There are other custom cards you can use to modify Lovelace but I’d stick with what you know for now.
You mean stick with what you know ? ha
fanpower:
friendly_name: "Fan Power"
value_template: "{{ ( is_state('fan.bedroom', 'on') or is_state_attr('fan.bedroom', 'auto_mode', true) )}}"
turn_on:
service: fan.turn_on
data:
entity_id: fan.bedroom
**oscillating: true**
turn_off:
service: fan.turn_off
data:
entity_id: fan.bedroom
**oscillating: false**
icon_template: >
{% if is_state('fan.bedroom', 'on') or is_state_attr('fan.bedroom', 'auto_mode', true) %}
mdi:fan
{% else %}
mdi:minus-circle-outline
{% endif %}
I’ve changed most of one of the switches I already have. Except, the oscillating part (true/false) is wrong. The command fan.turn_on and fan.turn_off is just a service that you call and does not appear to have any value to input there
For those interested. It appears that solution for that part was:
fanpower:
friendly_name: "Fan Power"
value_template: "{{ ( is_state('fan.bedroom', 'on') or is_state_attr('fan.bedroom', 'auto_mode', true) )}}"
turn_on:
service: fan.turn_on
data:
entity_id: fan.bedroom
turn_off:
service: fan.turn_off
data:
entity_id: fan.bedroom
icon_template: >
{% if is_state('fan.bedroom', 'on') or is_state_attr('fan.bedroom', 'auto_mode', true) %}
mdi:fan
{% else %}
mdi:minus-circle-outline
{% endif %}
Next on my list is to get the fan speed sensor to select the speed on click. I will do some searching to work out which tap_action that will be.
Once I have that done, I should be done and I can post the whole lot for anyone interested

Have a read of this:
For me the Oscillation switch is in the entity. Also the speed selection. I don‘t need to create separate switches.
It looks like the Dyson fan integration isn’t reporting the correct state when it is in ‘auto’ mode. How do I report that for the team to look at?
It is the Dyson integration.
But for that are you just using this to display it in lovelace?
- entity: fan.bedroom
name: Fan
Don‘t understand, sorry.
I have added the fan to an entity card.
This is the 'more info‘ view. You get this, if you tap on the entity name (not the toggle) in this card.
The screenshot you posted. Is that after you click something? If so, what code in Lovelace have you used to get that card
Thank you! Indeed your works is very interesting!
Hi @DrSpaldo, have you made some progress over this?
Have you also created switches or at least UI buttons for night mode and auto mode?
Hi @mgim,
This is what I have ended up with: (all toggle buttons)
This is the code in lovelace I used:
- type: glance
title: Dyson Fan Control
entities:
- entity: switch.fanpower
tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: switch.fan_auto
tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: switch.fan_night
icon: mdi:weather-night
tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: switch.oscillation
tap_action:
action: toggle
I made a switch for each mode and then refer to the switch in lovelace.
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
# DYSON FAN SWITCHES
fanpower:
friendly_name: "Fan Power"
value_template: "{{ ( is_state('fan.living_room', 'on') or is_state_attr('fan.living_room', 'auto_mode', true) )}}"

{% endif %}

entity_id: fan.living_room
auto_mode: true
turn_off:

entity_id: fan.living_room

{% if is_state_attr('fan.living_room', 'auto_mode', true) %}
mdi:brightness-auto

mdi:minus-circle-outline
{% endif %}

Oh nice, that looks good! Are you able to post yours as well? I might use some of it 
Sure!
For the card:
cards:
- entity: switch.dyson_fan_power
hold_action:
action: more-info
icon: 'mdi:fan'

show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:
action: toggle
type: entity-button

tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: switch.dyson_night_mode
icon: 'mdi:weather-night'
name: Night
tap_action:
action: toggle
- entity: switch.dyson_oscillation
name: Oscillate
tap_action:
action: toggle
type: glance
- control:
hvac: true
decimals: 0
entity: climate.dyson
hide:
state: true
label:
temperature: Bedroom

sensors:
- entity: sensor.paris_02e_arrondissement_temperature

- entity: sensor.meross_1_daily_cost

step_size: 1
type: 'custom:simple-thermostat'
type: 'custom:vertical-stack-in-card'
conditions:
- entity: switch.dyson_fan_power
state: 'on'
type: conditional
type: 'custom:vertical-stack-in-card'
input number for fan speed
# inputnumber to control dyson fan speed on UI
dyson_fan_speed:
name: Dyson fan speed
min: 1
max: 10
step: 1
icon: mdi:fan
and the related automations:
- id: '1581251639556'
alias: Dyson fan speed controller
description: ''
trigger:
- entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
platform: state
condition: []
action:
- data_template:
speed: '{{states(''input_number.dyson_fan_speed'')|int}}'
entity_id: fan.dyson
service: fan.set_speed
- id: '1581284638564'
alias: Update Dyson UI controllers
description: ''
trigger:
- entity_id: fan.dyson
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- data_template:
value: '{{state_attr(''fan.dyson'', ''speed'')}}'
entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
service: input_number.set_value
There is maybe a way to improve the fan speed controller automation but it works for now.

Great, thanks @mgim . I was thinking of implementing the speed controller, making it an conditional entry and only displayed when the fan is not in auto mode. I will have a go at that
