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
