States of the heat pump icon

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

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

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • climate entities. The card reads the climate entity's HVAC mode and action, so the icon follows cooling, heating, fan and off by itself.
  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "heat pump", "w ä", "ae rmepumpe", on climate, switch, input_boolean, binary_sensor or sensor entities.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a climate, switch or input_boolean: on shows running, off shows off. Entity states named like a state below (for example cooling) 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.
