I'm preparing a circle-sensors packed vertical line in my lovelace UI and unfortunately I've noticed, that not every name is fitting into the circle. I tried to add emojis instead of names [especially when the name of the sensor is just too long], but having nice material design, single-color icons in whole interface, and next to it - few sometime strangely looking, multi-color emojis just doesn't look good ;)
unfortunately I'm not a programmer, so can't figure out how to extend your card code, so all I'm able to do is give an example configuration options ;)
now, we can specify optional name for the circle-sensor, it would be cool to have optional parameter something like:
icon: [value]
value is optional, when not set, default value is used
default value: false
possible values:
false (which is the same as not configuring the icon at all)
true (= use the icon from entity)
custom:icon (= from the icons available in the HomeAssistant, so it can be mdi:battery or even fas:heart if somebody has FontAwesomeIcons installed etc.)
icon_size: [value]
optional, with the default of 100% meaning "normal sized icon, just like default size given by HomeAssistant"
not telling that it's 100% needed, but could be nice to have an possibility to scale up/down the icon just to match different ideas/interfaces (for example: if the sensor is big, a 100% = default sized, icon can be too small)
what's important - setting up the icon option would override the name option, so there's no possibility to have them both displayed (for sake of limited space).
