Animated tube amplifier icon for Home Assistant

Warming makes the vacuum tubes start to glow a faint orange with a blinking amber light; playing brings the tubes to a full glow, lights the VU meter and swings its needle with the music.

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

States of the tube amplifier icon

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

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

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a media_player, switch or input_boolean: on shows warming, off shows off. Entity states named like a state below (for example playing) 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 Tube amplifier 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

Mapping words yourself looks like this:
