Get Animara

Animated smart speaker icon for Home Assistant

While playing, the top light ring glows violet and pulses with the woofer pumping to the beat; when paused the ring breathes amber and the woofer rests.

3 states: off, playing and paused. Part of the media icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the smart speaker icon

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

  • OffResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Playing
  • Paused

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • media_player entities with device class speaker are detected as this icon automatically.
  • Any media_player entity gets this icon by default when nothing more specific matches.
  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "sonos", "speaker", "echo", "nest audio", on media_player, switch, input_boolean, binary_sensor or sensor entities.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a media_player, switch or input_boolean: on shows playing, off shows off. Entity states named like a state below (for example paused) 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.

  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 Smart speaker in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.
