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 overriding attributes of specific entities.
This format works for version 0.37+. For pre-0.37 use Older format
customize consists of a list of attribute customization blocks

{% linkable_title Advanced example %}
You can also specify attributes for all devices in a domain, use wildcards, use several entity IDs as a list or comma separated list.
homeassistant:
customize:
- entity_id: sensor
icon: mdi:kettle # Give all sensor the kettle icon
- entity_id: light.family*
hidden: true # Hide all lights that have an ID starting with 'family'
- entity_id: switch.wemo_switch_1,switch.wemo_switch_2,switch.wemo_switch_3
entity_picture: /local/toaster.jpg # Set picture on multiple devices
Either entity_id must be present in each customization block.
{% linkable_title Older format %}

{% linkable_title Reloading customize %}
Home Assistant offers a service to reload the core configuration while Home Assistant is running called homeassistant/reload_core_config. This allows you to change your customize section and see it being applied without having to restart Home Assistant. To call this service, go to the 
service developer tools, select the service homeassistant/reload_core_config and click "Call Service".
New customize information will be applied the next time the state of the entity gets updated.
