page Customizing devices and services Simple customization for devices and services in the frontend. 2016-04-20 06:00 true false true true

By default, all of your devices will be visible and have a default icon determined by their domain. You can customize the look and feel of your front page by altering some of these parameters. This can be done by adding the following configuration inside the homeassistant: section.

Devices that you don't want to have visible can be hidden with hidden.
entity_pictureentries, badges, device_tracker pictures, etc. can either be external URLs (e.g. http://example.com/example.jpg) or of the form /local/filename.jpg, where /local represents the directory www in the HASS configuration directory. You may have to create the www directory yourself as it is not made automatically.

You can also use icon and refer to any icon from MaterialDesignIcons.com.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
homeassistant:

  # Add this to your existing configuration
  # Only the `entity_id` is required.  All other options are optional.
