Entity Attributes¶

[!CAUTION] The UI editor has issues displaying advanced entities. It's recommended to configure these completely via yaml.

These attributes can be added to your entities to customize functionality:

Name	Type	Default	Description
on_color	string	yellow	Color when the entity is active
off_color	string	theme off color	Color when the entity is not active
icon	string	entity default	Custom MDI icon
icon_color	string	none	Hex color or theme color name

Note: Colors can now be configured directly in the card configuration. See Entity Color Configuration for complete options.

Setting Entity Attributes¶

Using Card Configuration (Recommended)¶

entities:
  - entity_id: switch.garage_opener_plug
    on_color: green
    off_color: red
    icon: mdi:garage

Using Customizations (Legacy)¶

customize:
  switch.garage_opener_plug:
    on_color: green
    off_color: red

In Template Sensors¶

sensor:
  - name: Printer Status
    state: "{{ not is_state('sensor.printer', 'unavailable') }}"
    icon: mdi:printer-alert
    attributes:
      on_color: blue
      off_color: grey

See Advanced Docs for more examples on attributes.
