Is icon_template allowed inside customize.yaml?
I want to customize an icon regarding the battery level and put this as icon_template, but it seems not working.
# icon_template: >-
# {% set battery_level = states.sensor.samsung_s8_battery.attributes.battery|default(0)|int %}
# {% set battery_round = (battery_level / 10) |int * 10 %}
# {% if battery_round >= 100 %}
# mdi:battery
# {% elif battery_round > 0 %}
# mdi:battery-{{ battery_round }}
# {% else %}
# mdi:battery-alert
# {% endif %}

Nope, check the documentation:
It lists all available options. If a component/document doesn’t list a _template as an option, the component cannot do it.
Here’s my working example. It should be easy to get what you need and make it work for you
mta: This is a separate sensor
platform: template
sensors:
yourdevice:
friendly_name: "Your Battery"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
value_template: "{{states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery}}"
icon_template: >
{% if states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery %}
{% if states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 98 %}
mdi:battery
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 85 %}
mdi:battery-90
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 75 %}
mdi:battery-80
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 65 %}
mdi:battery-70
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 50 %}
mdi:battery-50
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 35 %}
mdi:battery-30
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery >= 25 %}
mdi:battery-20
{% elif states.device_tracker.yourdevice.attributes.battery <= 15 %}
mdi:battery-10
{% else %}
mdi:battery-outline
{% endif %}
{% endif %}

That icon template only works inside template sensors, lights, fans, etc. @maurizio53 is specifically asking about the customization section of the config, so your solution will not work for him.
yeah, that’s why it says,
“This is a separate sensor”
