Animated water softener icon for Home Assistant

Idle shows the time on the control head; regenerating lifts the resin bed as water churns and rises through the window, the brine level drops and an amber bar tracks progress.

2 states: idle and regenerating. Part of the other icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the water softener icon

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

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

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows regenerating, off shows idle. Entity states named like a state below (for example regenerating) 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 Water softener 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
entity: switch.water_softener
icon: water_softener

Mapping words yourself looks like this:

states:
  "on": regenerating
