Describe the issue you are experiencing

Consider an Area card which contains some switches. Each switch may have an icon either customized via "customization" or defined by icon_template for template switches. But these changed icons will not be displayed on the card - instead a native "device_class" dependent icon is shown.

Describe the behavior you expected

If an entity is having an explicitly defined icon - show THIS icon.

Need to add some clarifications. Assume there are some entities associated with some area.

Some of these entities are numerical - like temperature, humidity. For each device class an average value is calculated and then shown: assume there are 2 temperature sensors in the area, so the average value is shown. And the displayed icon - corresponds to the device_class. THIS issue is NOT about these numerical sensors.

Also, THIS issue is not about "alerting" binary_sensors with standard icons (like "smoke", "motion").

THIS issue is about displaying icons for switches. A template switch may have OWN icons for both on/off states; suggest to show customized icons if there are any defined.
