+ Customizing Devices and Services +
++ + +
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_picture
entries, 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.
