Mdi icon availability

Development
1

Hi

Can someone explain what determines whether mdi icons show up? I’ve got a couple of lights that I’ve customised, originally both using mdi:lamp. I’ve changed one of them to use mdi:floor-lamp, but it doesn’t show up in the front end (simply an empty space). Does something have to be done to get icons in to Home Assistant?

I’ve taken a look through the docs, and dug in to the code; I found what appears to be the PR - [here](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/582 - that introduces the material design icons, but couldn’t figure out whether icons should “just work” or whether they need to be added to HA periodically.

Can someone advise?

FYI, here’s the relevant section of my customize.yaml:

switch.pink_lamp:
  icon: mdi:lamp

switch.red_lamp:
  icon: mdi:floor-lamp

Cheers

Works fine on dev. Could be a caching issue of the browser.

There’s several new icons that are shown on MDI, but not yet available in Hassio. Not sure what the dev mode is, but how can we get the latest MDI icons available for use? mdi:test-tube-off, mdi:test-tube-empty , mdi:tumble-dryer…

There are new icons coming everyday. The set we use is updated from time to time.
