Loving these cards! Have already made a ton of progress that I was struggling with on the built-in cards. One of my entities is an automatic window blind. To open it from the room card I’m calling a service to open the blind. Is there anyway to have the color of the icon change if the blind is open? In the standard lovelace dashboards there is an attribute of ‘state_color: true’ that seems to work. Any chance this would work for these cards? I’ve tried a few variations, but no luck so far.
entity_3:
entity_id: cover.family_room_sliding_door
icon: mdi:blinds-open
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_icon_color_on: blue
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: cover.open_cover
service_data:
entity_id: cover.family_room_sliding_door
glad your making progress, as for entity state on colour ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_icon_color_on: blue should have taken care of it.
Can you test your cover in a sensor object, let me know if state colour works, if so I know what the issue is.
BTW, you could just use, and that should open and close the cover.
tap_action:
action: toggle
I probably will use the toggle if I can get the color to change based on state. Created the sensor object and same issue, the icon doesn’t change color.
sensor_1:
entity_id: cover.master_bedroom_slider
icon: mdi:test-tube
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_icon_color_on: yellow
tap_action: action:toggle
sensor objects have different variable names, but looking at that it is bright blue, so that tells me that it has detected the open state.
use ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_sensor_color_on
That works! I only replaced the room card yaml with the dev branch. Any reason I should (or shouldn’t) update them all?
Thanks for the help!
thats great, thanks for the bug report, and no, just room card was changed.

added some animation files to dev branch, including fan.
use like this:
entity_4:
entity_id: fan.wetroom_extractor
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_icon_color_on: blue
templates:
- fan_animation
if anyone creates any new animations, i would be happy to add to git, just create a PR
Sorry can you kindly clarify where is the code and does it needs to be copied to your andyblac_room.yaml?
first download the animation icons folder from the dev git, and add to the rooms folder in your install, then restart Minimalist UI as normal, then just use the code above in your dashboard code.
the templates can be used on any of the icons, (Room, Entities, Sensors)
Great thanks a lot its working well.
Is it possible to have the motion icon greyed out when there is no motion detected and it becomes only red coloured and displays motion animation when motion is detected?
I was using your below code to do the change the colour of icon with and without motion, but its stopped working since adding in the - motion_animation template?
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_sensor_color: grey
ulm_custom_card_andyblac_room_sensor_color_on: redjust pushed a fix to the dev branch, give it a test and report back, but it should be fixed.
