Appdaemen 3 on hassio:
I am wondering how to get mdi or fa icons that have a hyphen in the name to work? For example:
icon_on: fa-circle
works fine
icon_off: fa-circle-notch
does not. It just leaves a blank on the widget like it can’t fetch the icon.
I’ve tried:
icon_off: fa-"circle-notch"
but still no dice. I have also tried the code for the icon : f1ce
How do i use the icons that have a hyphen in their name? Thank you in advance!
I’m not sure HA supports Font Awesome icons, but if it does I’d bet the format is the same as material design icons which is mdi:icon-name-here. Have you tried fa:circle-notch?

@czoog is asking about icons in HAdashboard, not in HA.
ha dashboard does support font awsome icons.
and also icons that have a - in it should appear normally.
but FA and MDI sometimes put in new ones and they just appear when its updated in appdaemon.
so your first try icon_off: fa-circle-notch was right, but its probably an icon thats to new
To add to that - I am updating to the latest MDI icons in the next beta. The latest FA icons however are a large upgrade - not for me, but for you, the users, as they introduced many breaking changes, i.e. renamed a lot of icons. I can go ahead and make the upgrade but a lot of folks will have to go back and revisit their dashboards so I’m not keen on doing that with everything else that is changing in the beta.
