Dynamic Weather Icon

[Jab2870]

Not sure if this is even possible, but would it be possible to have an icon that was something like weather-current? Or weather-{weather-entity}-current? The idea would be to have a single icon that can be used on pages or dashboards that reacts to the current weather.

The result would be having this if it were partly cloudy

or this if it were snowing

And so on.

it would be possible, but you would have to yaml code it yourself to react like this

[Jab2870]

My initial thought had been to use templates, something like:

title: Weather
path: weather
icon: >
  {% if states('weather.forecast_home') == "cloudy" %}
  mdi:weather-cloudy
  {% else %}
  mdi:weather-sunny
  {% endif %}
cards:
  ...

However, templates don't work here. Is this what you were referring to?

[rchiileea]

Yes there is no way for us to influence what icon shows when that’s on the core side for menu tabs, only way is to create your own header menu

[Jab2870]

Could you point me towards some documentation for that?

[rchiileea]

so you would have to add a header under the menu, for example my header has good afternoon, then info under it sliding acrross from right to left stops for a second then more info (i have for example which windows and doors are open show up (conditional), if car is bellow 50% to say it needs a charge etc. also custom icons to the right, but this is done through a complete yaml only dashboard called hki
