@thomasloven Is this platform specific?, favicon doesn’t show up under integrations in Hassbian.
Nice.
Isn’t that a bit heavy on the browser though? It counts the number of persistent notifications every second.
It’d very much like to have something that is not polling the notifications but it is getting notified about them.
Though this could probably may only be solved by modifying the frontend heavily?
Thanks @thomasloven i have got it working but noticed that the colour of the icon changes back to blue after about 5 secsond of refreshing the page.
Found out it was the custom-cards/favicon-counter that was putting it back so i have now disabled favicon-counter.
Hi Thomas,
I’ve succesfully installed your favicon now on 2 instances, but the 3d won’t work. I believe it is because Custom Header is on that instance, and Ive posted about that hijacking the Lovelace title here:
Would there be any chance you could change anything so it won’t interfere with CH.
Coming to think of it, since your tool and CH both have to do with the header an title representation of HA, maybe you could join forces with @mayker and bring things together in 1 tool?
anyways, hope you can have a look, thanks!
I’m unsure why they would need to work together. Custom Header doesn’t do anything with the favicon or title of the Home Assistant window and from what I can see, this does nothing with the title of the header. As far as Custom Header using the Lovelace config’s title: I’ve responded to it here and here.
so am I, its only that Ive established that to be the case… my outlined steps in What is overriding my Homeassistant title Home Assistant? - #5 by Mariusthvdb made it work though.
I’ll look into it more, but after installing this it changes my title just fine with or without Custom Header. I am, however, unable to get the favicon working with or without Custom Header.
well, yes that was my experience, until I completely removed CH from the HA config (so both ui-configuration.yaml and the resources.yaml)
also, and I overlooked that, you need the exact icon names (favicon.icon and favicon-apple-xxx.png)
after that Favicon installed just fine, and I could enable CH again.
On my 2 other systems without CH, installing Favicon went smoothly…
Let me know if I can help to debug/test what you will find out.
Using a completely fresh install for each test with correctly named favicon:
- Install Custom Header add config for it, install hass-favicon and config: Everything works fine, favicon doesn’t update
- Without Custom Header: Everything works fine, favicon doesn’t update
If I think of anything, I’ll let you know
I’ve just released a new version of hass-favicon, which should make it work much more reliably with the icon and title changes.
Hi,
the icons changes but the new title appears for a moment and then it is overwritten with Home Assistan. Can you help me?
Thanks
Same here, I hope for a fix soon
Same here! 
upon installing HA 109.1:
Logboekdetails (WARNING)
Logger: homeassistant.helpers.translation

favicon: the '.translations' directory has been moved, the new name is 'translations', starting with Home Assistant 0.111 your translations will no longer load if you do not move/rename this
an issue is already posted, sorry for the doubling: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-favicon/issues/12
Thank you @thomasloven, this helps me recognising what is HA and what is other HA related stuff in my busy browser.

Hi @thomasloven hope you’re well.
I’ve noticed since updating to 0.118 the system name at the top of the sidebar is now ‘Home Assistant’ instead of the the page title as set in favicon changer as it was previously, is this something that can be easily fixed?
yep, been happening since the previous beta, now permanently in 118 unfortunately,see https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-favicon/issues/14
hope Maykar’s fix can be incorporated.
to make it just that bit niftier, please consider importing name: from configuration.yaml.
