Every entity in Home Assistant has an icon, which is used as a visual indicator to identify the entity more easily in the frontend. Home Assistant uses the [Material Design Icons](https://materialdesignicons.com/) icon set.
In most cases, Home Assistant will pick an icon automatically based on the entity's domain, `device_class`, and `state`. It is preferred to use the default icon if possible, to provide a consistent experience and to avoid confusion for the user. However, it is possible to override provide a custom icon for an entity.

### Icon translations
This is the preferred and most modern way to provide a custom icon for an entity. Icon translations work similarly [our regular translations](/docs/internationalization/core#state-of-entities), but instead of translating the state of an entity, they translate the states of an entity to icons.

The `translation_key` property of an entity defines the icon translation to use. This property is used to look up the translation in the `entity` section of the integration's `icons.json` file.
To differentiate entities and their translations, provide different translation keys. The following example `icons` for a Moon domain `sensor` entity with its `translation_key` property set to phase:
