Animated baby monitor icon for Home Assistant

Idle keeps the parent screen dark; sound shows the baby with live volume bars and a pulsing green ring on the camera; night switches to green night vision with the infrared LEDs glowing.

3 states: idle, sound and night. Part of the other icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the baby monitor icon

The card picks the state from your entity, so the icon always shows what the baby monitor is doing.

  • IdleResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Sound
  • Night

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • binary_sensor entities with device class sound are detected as this icon automatically.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows sound, off shows idle. Entity states named like a state below (for example night) are used directly.
  • Works with any entity whose state you map: pick this icon in the card and map your entity's own state words to these states with the card's states: option.

How to use it in Home Assistant

  1. Install the Animara card: one link install, HACS as a custom repository, or copy animara-card.js to /config/www.
  2. Edit your dashboard, choose Add card, then Animara.
  3. Pick your entity. Choose Baby monitor in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.
  4. Paste your Full Pack license key into the License key field once per dashboard.

Prefer YAML? This is all it takes:

type: custom:animara-card
entity: binary_sensor.baby_monitor
icon: baby_monitor

Mapping words yourself looks like this:
