Changes to the icon translations schema

· One min read

The icon translations schema has been adjusted to allow assigning icons for sections in services. Icons for services should now be provided according to a more explicit schema, which allows specifying icons for sections.

This allows specifying service icons like this:

  "services": {
    "test_service_1": {
      "service": "mdi:flask",
      "sections": {
        "section_1": "mdi:test-tube"
      }
    }
  }

The old format is supported during a deprecation period of one year, to give time for custom integrations to migrate to the new schema:

  "services": {
    "test_service_1": "mdi:flask"
  }

See core PR #124656 for implementation details.

Impact on custom cards​

Icons data sent to the frontend will always be according to the new format, custom cards displaying service icons need to be adjusted.
