Add an on_error icon selection

[ecoen66]

I would like to propose that the on_error setting for a sensor should include an icon selection. I currently use multiscrape to create multiple sensors from my Cisco Deskpro video phone, one of which is call status. If the Deskpro is on a call, I can grab the status using select: "Status > Call > Status". However, if it is not on a call then there is no "Status > Call" section in the XML result.

In this case I use on_error to set the default state as "idle". Unfortunately, I cannot change the icon if the result was the "on_error" state.

Here is a snippet of my current config:

multiscrape:

• name: Deskpro scraper
  resource: "https://192.168.1.23/status.xml"
  authentication: basic
  verify_ssl: false
  username: !secret deskpro_username
  password: !secret deskpro_password
  sensor:
  • unique_id: deskpro_call
    name: Deskpro Call Status
    select: "Status > Call > Status"
    on_error:
    value: default
    default: idle
    icon: >-
    {% if value == 'Connected' %}
    mdi:phone-in-talk
    {% else %}
    mdi:phone-hangup
    {% endif %}
