Hey
created a appdaemon script to create some sensors about rubbish collection data scraped from my local council.
I was trying to customize the icon (and then move onto trying to get colour to change based on state etc)
but despite adding the data in the the configuration.yaml I still get the default icon.
I noticed when ever I restart home assistant the entity seems to get deleted so I’ve had to set the entity_state in the init as well as the timed callback so I assume this has something to do with it, its created after customization is applied or something like that any ideas ?
script snippet:
self.set_state("sensor.bin_date", state = BinCollectionFriendlyDate)
self.set_state("sensor.bin_colour", state = BinCollectionType)
self.set_state("sensor.bin2_colour", state = Bin2CollectionType)
configuration.yaml snipped
homeassistant:
customize:
sensor.bin_colour:
friendly_name: Bin Colour
icon: mdi:delete
sensor.bin_date:
friendly_name: Bin Collection Date
icon: mdi:calendar-clock
sensor.bin2_colour:
friendly_name: 2nd Bin Colour
icon: mdi:delete
p.s i rolled the dice on whether this was a config issue or a appdaemon script issue I went with I messed up the config but if this should live in the appdaemon section applogies in advance !
