Icon_template

[HorizonKane]

Hi all,

is this valid in a glance / entity (because it’s not working :D):

  - badges: []
    cards:
      - entity: weather.sunnysix
        type: weather-forecast
      - title: Türen & Fenster
        type: glance
        entities:
          - entity: binary_sensor.blub_state
            icon_template: >
              {% if is_state("binary_sensor.blub_state", "on") %}
                mdi:door-open
              {% else %}
                mdi:door-closed
              {% endif %}          
          - entity: binary_sensor.blib_state
          - entity: binary_sensor.bla_state

or do I have to create a sensor through the sensor_template to get that done?

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi tom,

It’s not withdrawn, I’m just waiting patiently if somebody has an answer

Kind regards,

FWIW, there’s a Feature Request to add the ability to set the icon based on the state:

Lovelace state_icon

Several Lovelace cards support the state_image option (display a different image based on an entity’s state). Would be nice if we could do the same with icons. The glance card would be a good start. Yes, I know I can dynamically set the icon with a template sensor or template binary sensor, but with component defined sensors it isn’t possible to add the template without creating a second sensor which just seems wasteful.

[petro]

you have a binary sensor. Just customize the device class for that item and the icon will change based on the state.

homeassistant:
  customize:
    binary_sensor.bulb_state:
      device_class: door

Works like a charm!
