RQST icon color on >0 state

[GH2user]

Hi,

I have added a lot of entities which have either a state of 0 or bigger when running.
To emphasise the unit is running I have the icon color set to the active state using icon conditions.

• entity: sensor.plug_dryer_power
  name: dryer
  icon:
  conditions:
  - icon: mdi:tumble-dryer
  condition: equals
  value: 0
  - icon: mdi:tumble-dryer
  condition: above
  value: 0
  styles:
  color: var(--paper-item-icon-active-color)
  show_state: true
  format: precision1

It would be great if we had a boolean to do this automatically; color_nonzero: true
Just to remove lots of repetitive code in the card.

• entity: sensor.plug_dryer_power
  name: dryer
  color_nonzero: true
  show_state: true
  format: precision1

Thanks.
PS code-tags put it all on one line unfortunately

Sorry this is too much custom work. Maybe in the future, but this won't be in in the near future.

[GH2user]

OK understand. As I have no clue how much work or if even possible just thought I raise the question.

[marcokreeft87]

No problem, you can always ask right? :)

Hmm maybe I can make something you would like. Like templating. So you can put the repetitive yaml in a template. But first I need to cover the card with unit tests.

[GH2user]

I think that would be great and many more people will think so I suspect.
The custom:button-card has templating and it really can be useful.
No hurry and if I need to do some testing just let me know,
