Running shows green bars on the display, a green LED and faint warm exhaust rising; the weekly self test turns the LED amber with an amber progress bar.

States of the standby generator icon

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

  • OffResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Running
  • Exercising

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "generator", on switch, input_boolean, binary_sensor or sensor entities.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows running, off shows off. Entity states named like a state below (for example exercising) 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 Standby generator 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.
