Automatically displaying an icon and color for an entity without using dynamic rules

[michalowskil]

I need to check if this is even possible. ha-state-icon? state-active-color?

How does the HA entities card solve it internally? Displaying an entity by a dynamic icon is common in many lovelace cards, so I assume there is an easy way.

@michalowskil - firstly thanks for a great card, and all your work.

This is what I was requesting in my previous comment. As @Aleco has also suggested, my use case is the same - there are many entities that already have dynamic icons eg door open/closed, climate heating on/off, etc. I also have a number of template sensors that I've created as well for batteries that also use dynamic icons.

It would be great if the Flex-cells card could display these dynamic icons which are directly linked the entity state. It is not practical to manually create dynamic icons for all the different possibilities when you have a very large number of entities to display.

• v0.11.0 —
  • Added use of system-assigned icons and colors for entities.
  • Changed the decimal separator to use the system settings.
  • Disabled the default underline for entities.
