Animated sump pump icon for Home Assistant

Idle shows a calm controller with a green light; pumping pushes water up the clear riser while the float drops; alarm raises the float high and turns the controller red with a blinking light.

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

States of the sump pump icon

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

  • IdleResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Pumping
  • Alarm

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "sump", 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 pumping, off shows idle. Entity states named like a state below (for example alarm) 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 Sump 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:

type: custom:animara-card
