#

for the MQTT one, yes

    - name: "Back Yard Motion"
      state_topic: blue_iris/binary_sensor/backyard/state
      payload_on: "ON"
      payload_off: "OFF"
      device_class: motion```

#

that's not customize.yaml

#

that's just yaml

#

for mqtt

sudden thunder May 30, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

er sorry, I have nothing under customize.yaml

narrow depot May 30, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

customize.yaml is a specific section of yaml outside the mqtt section that allows you to customize entities

#

ok then the icon & state should change with that entity

sudden thunder May 30, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

that lines up with what I've read lol

narrow depot May 30, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

is the entity changing states?

#

if no, then that would be the problem

#

you'd have to verify your payloads for on and off

#

Looks like it's changing states, the card on the dashboard is updating correctly

#

it's just the icon that isn't flipping

narrow depot May 30, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

Is this a custom card or something built in?

sudden thunder May 30, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

I'm just using the entities card

narrow depot May 30, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Then it should just work out of the box

#

unless you've overridden it in customize.yaml

#

there's no other way to do that based on your configuration
