Animated pet feeder icon for Home Assistant

Idle shows a full hopper with a green status bar; feeding drops kibble from the chute to fill the bowl while the bar glows blue; empty leaves hopper and bowl bare with the bar blinking red.

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

States of the pet feeder icon

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

  • IdleResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Feeding
  • Empty

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "feeder", 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 feeding, off shows idle. Entity states named like a state below (for example empty) 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 Pet feeder 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: switch.pet_feeder
icon: pet_feeder

Mapping words yourself looks like this:

states:
  "on": empty
