<p>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.</p>
<p class="note">
If you implement <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize_domain</code>, or <code class="highlighter-rouge">customize_glob</code> you must make sure it is done inside of <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant:</code> or it will fail.

<h3><a class="title-link" name="device-class" href="#device-class"></a> Device Class</h3>
<p>Device class is currently supported by the following platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/components/binary_sensor/">Binary Sensor</a></li>
<li><a href="/components/cover/">Cover</a></li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="reloading-customize" href="#reloading-customize"></a> Reloading customize</h3>
<p>Home Assistant offers a service to reload the core configuration while Home Assistant is running called <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant/reload_core_config</code>. 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 <img src="/images/screenshots/developer-tool-services-icon.png" alt="service developer tool icon" class="no-shadow" height="38" /> service developer tools, select the service <code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant/reload_core_config</code> and click “Call Service”.</p>
<p class="note warning">
New customize information will be applied the next time the state of the entity gets updated.
