Animated pool pump icon for Home Assistant

The controller has two status lights: blue when the pump runs, plus amber when the heater is on; while running the motor fan spins and the water swirls in the clear strainer lid.

3 states: off, running and heating. Part of the garden & outdoor icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the pool pump icon

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

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

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "pool", 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 heating) 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 Pool pump 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:
