Binary Sensor Icon in Chip Cards

[declankenny]

Currently, when a motion sensor entity is added to a chip card, it defaults to a checkbox-marked-circle icon. The out of box icon for a motion sensor depends on its state, using either motion-detector or motion-sensor-off. It would be great if this was also the default behavior in Mushroom

We currently use custom-cards for the icon definition : https://github.com/custom-cards/custom-card-helpers/blob/master/src/domain_icons.ts but it's not updated with latest icon rules based on icon domain AND device_class.

I am happy to move the issue over to the custom card helpers repo. Paul, I think the correct approach here is that binary sensor domain should look to the device class to determine the correct icon.
I am seeing the same behavior for binary sensors with a device class of "Door"

Added an issue in the upstream library

Yup!! Same Problem here. I am not a developer, but if it will look for the device class to determine the correct icon, the icons will loose previous customizations right (like in customize.yaml)?

You could use a template chip
