Use entity picture of another sensor

Configuration
1

Is it possible to use the entity picture of a sensor in another sensor?

Maybe something like this customization (which is not working):

sensor.xyz:
  entity_picture: '{{ states.sensor.abc.attributes.entity_picture }}'

Hi @mbonani
Maybe I don’t understand your question properly, so sorry if this is the case.
It is possible to customize the icon you want for your items. There is a property for that: icon
For example:

chromecast_radio:
  name: 'Select speakers:'
  options:
    - Kitchen
    - Playroom
    - Living room
  initial: Kitchen
  icon: mdi:speaker-wireless

To find suitable MDI icons this info is interesting.

Thank you for the message. I know and already use the icon customization in my config.

What I’m trying to do is use the entity picture from a weather sensor as the entity picture of another sensor, just to save space on the display.

Following the examples from this post Map device “state” to an icon I was able to do what I wanted, kinda.

world_clock:

  entities:
    - sensor.local_time_template
    - sensor.chicago_template
    - sensor.los_angeles_template

This resulted in the following card:

I want to use entity pictures instead of icons, but I still haven’t found a way. Well, back to the drawing board.
