State-based icons and colors using customize.yaml

Configuration
1

Hello.

I had been running Home Assistant in VirtualBox VM on my Win10 PC for a couple of years (using VBoxVMservice). It decided to crash couple of weeks ago, so I am now running Home Assistant as a VM on unRAID after starting from fresh (didn’t use a backup to transfer to the new instance because there were some integrations and entities that really just took up resources). I did open the backup so I could pick and choose from the different YAML files. Most things work just like I needed them too, except my customized icons based on state (like garage doors)

In configuration.yaml, I included

homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml'

In customize.yaml, I have

cover.2_car_garage_door_opener:
    friendly_name: '2-Car Garage Door Opener'
    templates:
      icon: >
        if (state == 'open') return 'mdi:garage-open-variant';
        if (state == 'closed') return 'mdi:garage-variant';
        return 'mdi:garage-alert-variant';
      icon_color: >
        if (state == 'open') return 'red';
        if (state == 'closed') return 'green';
        return 'yellow';

This used to work perfectly on my old system (was a little out of date with updates), so I’m not sure if any recent changes in the OS are changing how the customizations must be written.

Any help is appreciated.

This is not a standard customize option. You must have had a third party integration like cutom_ui installed.

Thanks. I had looked at my backed-up custom integrations, but had neglected my backed up lovelace components. custom-ui was what I was missing.
