I don’t know if there’s a tutorial. The custom svg paths was something added in the project this card was forked from that I’ve continued to use but haven’t expanded much upon. You do need to copy just the path fields from within the SVG XML.
where would i copy the svg xml. sorry not understanding how? noobie to this?
The SVG XML has a bunch of elements named path with attributes named d. The The d attribute contains the commands that draw the SVG icon. You need to copy all of the path commands into the editor and then modify it as needed. To be honest it probably won’t work well with that icon, as this card’s custom icon feature was made to work with binary icons. You may be better off using a background image, like in this example.
Easiest way I’ve found to build custom icons/svg is with Adobe Illustrator.
Took me 2mins to build this one from your low-res screenshot:

Hi.
i love this card and its working nicely.
i would like to know how is it possible to run and a button from this card using script
for example how i can run this in a script:
type: button
name: freetv
icon: mdi:television-box
tap_action:
action: source
source: tv.freetv.androidtv
key and source are shortcuts for different actions. As of 4.1.1, these actions vary by platform. For Android TV, it uses the remote.turn_on action as described in the Home Assistant Android TV Remote integration documentation.
action: remote.turn_on
data:
activity: tv.freetv.androidtv
target:
entity_id: remote.android_tv
Version 4.2.0 has been released with two new features:
- Sony BRAVIA platform support.
- Custom actions from file.

What have you tried so far? You don’t need to get the path with Illustrator.
i want to have those 2 logos in the Remote card. and I tried to find a way to get the path for them.
but without sucess.
is there any other way i could add it to HA and use it as an icon?

It’s pretty easy:
- Install GitHub - thomasloven/hass-fontawesome: 🔹 Use icons from fontawesome in home-assistant (read the docs about custom svg)…
- Copy the .svg icon to config/custom_icons directory
- Use a custom action for the button, specifying the icon as below.
- name: custom2
type: button
tap_action:
...
icon: fapro:plex-test2#fullcolor
And voila:

so I installed fontawesome and created the custom_icons folder (i home in the right directory).
i added my svg file it is now saves without the .svg extention.
and created a custom button, but i still dont see the icon.
- custom_icons is in the config directory
- don’t forget the #fullcolor at the end of the icon.
- test with a standfard fapro icon
Google TV question for you folk.
I have a Hisense UST Projector with built in Google TV.
I have the Android Debug Bridge integration which creates a remote and media player.
I also have the Android TV Remote integration which creates another remote and media player.
With Universal Remote Card, which ones do you use (should I use)?
My crude understanding is that the ADB devices are well featured (full app list) but slow (adb is slow)…while the Android TV Remote is less featured - but faster? But I could be dead wrong and their might be an even better approach - that I don’t know.
Thoughts?
Per the README, use the Android TV Remote integration remote ID for remote ID, and the ADB integration remote ID for the keyboard ID.
Thanks for this great contribution!
Color of buttons by state seems to no longer be working, whereas it had been before the breaking updates (e.g., change the power button to yellow color when on). What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

}The v3 to v4 config upgrade process wasn’t perfect and some templates would break due to the change in styles format. Try modifying your CSS styles templates to wrap the entire variable and use the icon class selector like so:
.icon {
{% if is_state("remote.family_room_tv", "on") %}
color: #FFC107;
{% endif %}
}

That worked! Thanks-
First of all, love this card!
A different colour related question. I have a card set up with various actions for my LG TV, with coloured icons. All working well on iOS devices and desktops:
However the exact same card on my Fire tablet in Fully Kiosk doesn’t render the colours for some reason. Apologies for poor quality photo:
Is this just a limitation of Fully Kiosk, or has anyone else seen and/or fixed the same issue with a setting change?
The CSS seems OK, this is for the YouTube action for example:
:host {
--icon-color: rgb(229, 9, 20);
}
