Animated home status icon for Home Assistant
A modern house shows the household mode: home with warm lit windows, away with dark windows and a glowing lock on the door, night with dim blue windows and one soft night light, vacation with lights moving room to room to simulate presence, and armed with a red shield glowing in the door panel and a pulsing alarm LED.
5 states: home, away, night, vacation and armed. Part of the security icons in the Animara Full Pack.
One time payment, 14 day refund. The free sampler has 12 icons and the same card.
States of the home status icon
The card picks the state from your entity, so the icon always shows what the home status is doing.
- HomeResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
- Away
- Night
- Vacation
- Armed
Which Home Assistant entities fit
- Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a
switchorinput_boolean: on shows away, off shows home. Entity states named like a state below (for examplearmed) 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
- Install the Animara card: one link install, HACS as a custom repository, or copy
animara-card.jsto/config/www. - Edit your dashboard, choose Add card, then Animara.
- Pick your entity. Choose Home status in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.
- Paste your Full Pack license key into the License key field once per dashboard.
Prefer YAML? This is all it takes:
