Animated rain sensor icon for Home Assistant

When rain is detected, drops fall onto the sensing dish and bead up with small ripples on its surface while the status light glows blue.

2 states: dry and rain. Part of the garden & outdoor icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the rain sensor icon

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

  • DryResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Rain

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows rain, off shows dry. Entity states named like a state below (for example rain) 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 Rain sensor 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.rain_sensor
icon: rain_sensor

Mapping words yourself looks like this:

states:
  "on": rain
