Newer HA icons are not displayed (replaced with a check)

[domneedham]

Checklist:

• I updated to the latest version available
• I cleared the cache of my browser

Release with the issue:
v3.0.2

Last working release (if known):
(I think HA icon update broke it?)

Browser and Operating System:
iOS, macOS, Firefox, Chrome

Description of problem:
When using frigate-card-menu-state-icon, the new person motion sensor icon does not display correctly. It is replaced by a default check icon for a binary sensor.

In this image, the first check is a person motion sensor and the other is related to the 'music-note' icon.

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):
None

Not quite following this. My motion sensors are showing as as the "walking human" icon -- would you mind including your config, and perhaps a screenshot of what you expected to show up? Did this work in a prior version

(I think HA icon update broke it?)

I'm not aware about this -- mind saying a bit more?

[domneedham]

Hmm strange. I also expect the "walking human" icon to show, but as per screenshot above, it doesn't. It only seems to be the icons that got an update in some HA release not too long ago. My yaml for the config (changed camera name):

type: custom:frigate-card

  - camera_entity: camera.1
    title: 1 Substream
    id: sub

  - camera_entity: camera.2

I am referring to when they updated the mdi icon set (it was in a release note - I just can't remember which :)). To be honest, it has been off a while, I should have raised the issue sooner than now. It wasn't a frigate card update that broke.

If it helps, I know the mushroom cards had the same issue and they released a fix (piitaya/lovelace-mushroom#147).

[dermotduffy]

What device do those binary_sensors belong to? (Are they frigate entities, or something else?)

If it helps, I know the mushroom cards had the same issue and they released a fix (piitaya/lovelace-mushroom#147).

That really helps! As in that change, I am using the custom-card-helpers that provides the functionality to map entity domain to icon. The fix applied there is to copy/re-implement that logic, which is not super attractive though ...

[domneedham]

They belong to the same camera used in the configuration. As per the screenshot, the dog icon only shows as I changed that from the default.

As for fix, yeah I thought the same thing, shame HA don't expose that logic without copying it or need of another custom card..

[dermotduffy]

What I can't figure out is how come it works for me ... if I attach a binary sensor, from a Frigate camera, here's what I get (icon on the end):

elements:
  - type: custom:frigate-card-menu-state-icon
    entity: binary_sensor.office_person_motion
    tap_action:
      action: toggle

That is the raw entity, no icon customizations applied at the HA level.

What version of the HA are you using?

[domneedham]

Yeah is very strange.

I am using HA latest (2022.3.3?) and running on docker.

[dermotduffy]

@domneedham Do you have any icon related integrations, or relevant custom frontend resources, that might influence this?

Anyone else reading this: Seeking more people who can confirm they have this problem. If that describes you, please chime in!

[domneedham]

Not that I know of. No icon packs or anything of the sorts. The issue that describes my exact problem is seen at custom-cards/custom-card-helpers#57.

[peledzius]

Just encountered this too:

elements:
  - type: custom:frigate-card-menu-state-icon
    entity: binary_sensor.main_door

I'm still on HA 2022.2 though.

[peledzius]

Found out that it doesn't show check mark when entity icon is customized manually.

[dermotduffy]

"Good news": I have also started encountering this. Still don't know why, but at least I have a test case. I imagine my solution is going to be similar to mushroom card 'duplication' solution -- as it doesn't seem like the pace of commits / PRs on custom-card-helpers is particularly high so waiting for that might be too long a wait.

And yes, I think manually overriding the icon can be a workaround in the meantime.

[dermotduffy]

Fixed, will be in the v4.0.0 build.
