Unable to set a local hosted icon on an entity?

Development
1

Im trying to set a local / custom icon on an entity.

The custom png file is stored here:
\config\www\icons\media_icons\playstation-logo_active.png

For now I’m setting the icon using the dev section’s “States” page.

The state attributes that I set looks like this:

{
“icon”: “/local/icons/media_icons/playstation-logo_active.png”
}

the icon name is reflected ok in the table below that lists the current attributes.
But once I click on the entity the logo is just blank.

I’m able to retrieve the icon just fine using this url:
http://x.x.x.x:8123/local/icons/media_icons/playstation-logo_active.png

any ideas as to what could be the issue at hand here ?

/local shouldn’t be in config. it should be in the root dir of home-assistant as /www

unless something has changed I don’t know about

doesn’t WWW map to config\www according to what I can garther of info here and there ?

local seems to work when I paste this URL into my browser …
http://x.x.x.x:8123/local/icons/media_icons/playstation-logo_active.png

yes it does… but config is your home-assistant root directory. ie /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant is my local instance. this whole path is consider the config directory. so config/www would actually be /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/www
