Animated water valve icon for Home Assistant

A ball valve: closed, the lever is across the pipe and the water stands still; open, the lever turns in line, water flows through the sight glass and pours from the spout.

2 states: closed and open. Part of the garden & outdoor icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the water valve icon

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

  • ClosedResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Open

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • valve entities with device class water are detected as this icon automatically.
  • valve entities with device class gas are detected as this icon automatically.
  • Any valve entity gets this icon by default when nothing more specific matches.
  • Picked automatically when the entity or device name contains "valve", 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 open, off shows closed. Entity states named like a state below (for example open) 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 valve 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.
