why icon_color does not work?

[Javito68]

Greetings to all,
I do not understand why this code to change the color It does not work, in : config/customize.yaml:

#Sensores Estacion Meterologica:
sensor.temperatura1:
friendly_name: "Temperatura dht22"
icon: mdi:speedometer-slow
templates:
#icon_color: green
icon_color: >
if (state < 25) return 'green';
else return 'red';

Target:

Entity:

Config-> Info:

observing the file structure I don't have the lovelace directory in www, is it normal? it is installed in docker.
Thanks for everything!!!

Hi, as the screen shot shows, you haven't yet installed custom-ui.

Please check the documentation how to do that first.

thanks for answering Mariusthvdb, I just installed custom-ui:

but it does not work, any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

[Mariusthvdb]

You didn't install the custom-ui in this repo, but the old and no longer working version...

Please delete this and check the docs once more.

After that show the info page with the version installed

Hi Marius, instalado:

now I have the following doubts:
- Why does it not work in the target entity and if in the target entities?

-How can I hide attributes? I have used hide_attributes in customize.yaml and it doesn't work:

sensor.temperatura1:
hide_attributes:
friendly_name: "Temperatura dht22"
icon: mdi:speedometer-slow
templates:
#icon_color: green
icon_color: >
if (state < 25) return 'red';
else return 'green';

thank you for your patience!!!

Hide_attributes:

You didn't configure what to hide ;-) check the docs and see eg templates and icon_color, or simply set all

Color:
Could be 2 things: not always necessary, but did you also restart?

If so, it could be you need to quote the number (because it could be a string), so try '25'

Lastly, the word 'else' is not needed.

Hi,
Hide_attributes -> Ok

Color:
in each change restart, the data is numeric as string does not work, overridden the else:
sensor.temperatura1:
hide_attributes:
- templates
friendly_name: "Temperatura dht22"
icon: mdi:coolant-temperature
templates:
#icon_color: green
icon_color: >
if (state < 0) return 'red';
if (state < 20) return 'yellow';
if (state < 30) return 'green';
if (state < 50) return 'red';

it not work in the target entity, why?

Thanks!!!

that card probably can't be customized by custom-ui, because it uses another way of displaying the icon_color.

you need the card-mod resource by Thomas Loven, check https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-add-css-styles-to-any-lovelace-card/120744/1396 by @ildar_gabdullin for many suggestions to do so.
