My own icons

You need to give more information for us to be able to help you.

What do you mean “nothing works”?

What have you tried? post some code that you’ve tried to get working but isn’t.

Where did you create the www folder?

gerbenz · August 9, 2019, 7:14am

The www folder is were my yamfiles are
When i try in the config ui edit my sensor
The part with icon and place there the text: /config/kwh.png and i reboot
Then the base icon is away but there is no new icon

nickrout · August 9, 2019, 9:14am

Assuming you are using hassos then I think it should be

icon: /local/kwh.png

gerbenz · August 9, 2019, 11:32am

I have done that but no icon appears.

petro · August 9, 2019, 1:24pm

Place kwh.png into www folder. As @nickrout said, accessing it will be /local/kwh.png

Second, if you are using customize.yaml, then you need to place the png location in the entity_picture field, not the icon. Icon is used for built-in mdi icons only.

  entity_picture: /local/kwh.png

i do this here are screenshots:

here my folder structure

and here the png files

petro · August 9, 2019, 3:05pm

No. Do not use the icon spot. It’s not an icon. It’s entity_picture, like I said before.

gerbenz · August 9, 2019, 3:09pm

o wow thanks it works.

but what means the icon sector what i used for?

petro · August 9, 2019, 4:18pm

See previous comment.

gerbenz · August 9, 2019, 4:47pm

Ok,

Thanks for the help.

gerbenz · August 9, 2019, 10:07pm

Okay one question,

I have the icons set.
But is it possible to make them bigger?

gr1nch · September 4, 2021, 2:39am

Its not working for me, but I do get the question mark icon, so the JS is being read. What svg types work, what size, etc are proven to work? Well done for working on this, I hope to use it for a few icons I’ve got.

The Icons from the Hue Icon Pack (which also the question mark icon is part of) work fine for me. Have not tried others as i primarily wanted to use the hue icons.

have a look at https://github.com/arallsopp/hass-hue-icons if you’re interested in the Hue icons, @arallsopp is actively updating this resource, and the icons are beautiful

Andy_Allsopp · September 27, 2021, 11:46pm

Hey! Thanks @Mariusthvdb. There are over 200 icons in the pack now, including more than 140 custom icons created especially for the HA community. Always good to hear it being used.

Hi,
I have tried a lot, but it does not work. Can enybody help me?
This is what is in my configuration.yaml

homeassistant:

entity_picture: /local/nibe-logo.png```

nibe-logo.png is in the config/www directory.

This is what I get back:
expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data['customize']

What do I wrong?

Tim6 · December 9, 2021, 6:11am

This better:

homeassistant:
entity_picture: /local/nibe-logo.png

evlo · February 26, 2023, 8:42am

Invalid config for [panel_custom]: [entity_picture] is an invalid option for [panel_custom]. Check: panel_custom->panel_custom->0->entity_picture. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 178).
