Animated motion sensor icon for Home Assistant

PIR motion sensor: when motion is detected a warm heat spot sweeps across the faceted lens like a person walking past, the dome glows and the LED blinks amber.

2 states: clear and detected. Part of the sensors icons and free in the open source sampler.

States of the motion sensor icon

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

  • ClearResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Detected

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • binary_sensor entities with device class motion are detected as this icon automatically.
  • binary_sensor entities with device class occupancy are detected as this icon automatically.
  • Any binary_sensor entity gets this icon by default when nothing more specific matches.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows detected, off shows clear. Entity states named like a state below (for example detected) 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 Motion sensor in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.

Prefer YAML? This is all it takes:

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

Mapping words yourself looks like this:

states:
  "on": detected
