Installation instructions

• Go to HACS

• Add as a Custom Repository: https://github.com/Snuffy2/hass-favicon

• Download hass-favicon (Snuffy2)

• Restart Home Assistant

• Get some icons

  • There are some nice ones available here

  • You can generate favicons from them using an online tool, such as this one.

• Put your icons in e.g. <your config dir>/www/favicons/. Note that <your config dir>/www/ translates to /local/ for the Icon path.

• If you created <your config dir>/www/ you need to restart Home Assistant once before any icons will be found.

About the icons

hass-favicon will scan the specified directory and automatically apply icons when found based on their filename. There are three types of icons, and it's important that you get the filenames correct.

• favicon.ico - The icon which is displayed on the browser tab and in the bookmark menu

• favicon-apple-<anything>.png - The icon which is displayed if you save your interface to the home screen of your iDevice.

• favicon-<size>x<size>.png - Used by android devices. <size> indicates the icon size in pixels, e.g. favicon-1024x1024.png.
