States of the router icon
The card picks the state from your entity, so the icon always shows what the router is doing.
- OfflineResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
- Online
- Traffic
Which Home Assistant entities fit
- Any
updateentity gets this icon by default when nothing more specific matches. - Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a
switchorinput_boolean: on shows online, off shows offline. Entity states named like a state below (for exampletraffic) 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

animara-card.jsto/config/www. - Edit your dashboard, choose Add card, then Animara.
- Pick your entity. Choose Router in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.
