Hey community!
I’m a bit stuck. Or sleep deprived. Or something.
I’m trying to get discovery via MQTT working, but I want to be able to publish the icon_template value. It works fine with a normal icon. I believe it’s possible on a normal sensor, although the documentation suggests it only working for a binary sensor?
Here’s the error I get when I rebooted the server (you know, in case: turn it off and on again):

When pushing JSON icon, I’ve tried the HA sensor state data, my most recent attempt has been the value_json node, and I’ve tried escape characters, without escape characters, swapping the ’ for a " …
Here’s the JSON string I’m passing in MQTT/config:

Hoping someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong, or if it’s unsupported (in which case this post is a lie).
