Animated washing machine icon for Home Assistant

Washing turns the drum through soapy water, rinsing shows clear water, spinning whirls fast, paused lights the detergent drawer amber with two bars, and done shows a softly breathing green check on the display.

6 states: off, washing, rinsing, spinning, paused and done. Part of the laundry icons in the Animara Full Pack.

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "washer", "washing", "laundry", "waschmaschine", on switch, input_boolean, binary_sensor or sensor entities.
  • Status sensors (sensor) that report the words listed under each state below are understood without any setup.
  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows washing, off shows off. Entity states named like a state below (for example done) 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.
