icon for states

[i00]

Hi... If something is boolean ... can you have another icon like:

icon: mdi:...
icon_off: mdi:...

That allows the icon to be changed depending on the entities state?
Thanks

Sorry ... how does #71 fix this? ... I noticed you stated that you now do intend to make the card implement templating soon tho... so I guess I wait for that.

Uhm... I really have no idea how this got linked to #71... Reopening it.

Edit: seems like the guy who made the PR linked to this issue, which made Git close this when I merged it..

#71 makes it possible to have icons that represent the state, I have linked the issue since if you set icon to true in the latest version, then it will display the icon based on state (depending on HA support, for example in my case the icon changes based on whether update is available in zigbee2mqtt).
I have linked the issue since it may solve @i00 problem without templating.
Here is an example how to get a changing light icon in a row:

  - entity: light.my_bulb
    name: My Bulb
    secondary_info: last-changed
    show_state: false
    state_color: true
    type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'
    entities:
      - entity: light.my_bulb
        icon: true
        name: false
        state_color: true
      - entity: binary_sensor.my_bulb_available
        icon: true
        name: false

@drzony ... sorry how does that allow for two different icons depending on state?

@i00 Home Assistant changes icons based on state internally. For example binary sensor looks like that:

Battery icons change based on value:

I'm not saying that this solves all your needs, but it may help until templating is done.
Unfortunately GitHub's issue linking is a bit weird, so when I wrote "Possibly fixes #61" it assumed that my pull request fixes it and closed this issue on merge.

Thanks for all contributors - love this card 😃
+1 for templating

This will be supported with templating (#35) whenever I get around to implementing that.
