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.
For switches with an assumed state two buttons are shown (turn off, turn on) instead of a switch. By setting assumed_state to false you will get the default switch icon.

{% 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.
