I have a light group that is really just a group of switches for a 3 way light. I have the group in a dashboard. Is there any way to set the icon for this group so it looks just like my other lights? If I set the icon to mdi:lightbulb it doesn't get the slash when turned off. I'm just looking for consistency.
#Possible to use new light icon (with a slash over the off state) for a light group?

No not really.

Well that's a bit annoying.

Just in case someone else has any ideas, this is what I'm trying to fix (Downlights off state is inconsistent because it's a group)

I guess your options would be something like:
- use a different card (custom card or card mod?) that gives more dynamic control of the icon
- create a new template light entity with custom on/off icons
- change all the lights to just use a static icon.

If you don't manually assign an icon but just make a light group it should act the same as a light.

@silver cosmos no, light groups have a different default icon (both the on and off state) than individul lights

@zinc pecan You're right! I thought I looked it up but I was looking at a Z2M group, sorry!

Heh. NBD

@whole cosmos Was there talk at some point about possibly adding user-defined on & off icons for entities (instead of just a single user-defined icon) or am I thinking of something else?

I can't remember. If anything it was a "maybe someday" kind of thing, but I'm not aware anyone's seriously considering it right now.
