anyway to change the weather icon (condition)

[rgogada]

I am from Australia and using BOM weather. Unfortunately the conditions they use are not complaint with HA conditions. eg: "Rain" instead of "rainy".

I have created an other template sensor to manipulate this condition to make it complaint with HA conditions but how can I override it on this card. I tried to set the custom state but it does not change the icon (does change the text though). anyway to change the icon? cheers.

Not possible, could possibly add the ability to override the icon-state in the future, but imo the BOM component should be tweaked so that it follows the standard HA weather states

Is it possible to just get the icon to follow whatever the state value is? I'm trying to create a forecast card, and I'm using a custom sensor with tomorrow's weather condition, but it looks like the icon follows what the original condition is.

You can now override the variable the icon-state is based on with a custom sensor.

# example
- type: custom:simple-weather-card
  entity: weather.smhi_home
  custom:
    - icon-state: sensor.custom_state_sensor

Here are all the available icon states:

• "clear-night"
• cloudy
• overcast
• fog
• hail
• lightning
• "lightning-rainy"
• partlycloudy
• pouring
• rainy
• snowy
• "snowy-rainy"
• sunny
• windy
• "windy-variant"
• humidity

Yes, this is now possible if you follow the example above.
