A deprecated Home Assistant integration that provided Font Awesome 6.6.0 icons for use throughout the platform.
hass-fontawesome was a custom integration for Home Assistant that provided access to Font Awesome version 6.6.0 icons. It allowed users to enhance their smart home interfaces with professional icons from the Solid, Regular, and Brands sets, and also supported custom SVG icons. The project has been deprecated and replaced by hass-custom_icons.
Home Assistant users and developers looking to visually customize their smart home dashboards and interfaces with high-quality icons.
It offered a straightforward way to integrate a vast library of free icons directly into Home Assistant, with additional support for custom SVG icons and advanced visual effects, though users now should migrate to its successor.
Deprecated. Use hass-custom_icons instead

Could be installed seamlessly via HACS with a single click, minimizing setup effort for Home Assistant users.
Provided direct use of hundreds of free, professional icons from Font Awesome 6.6.0 in Solid, Regular, and Brands sets.
Allowed users to add their own SVG icons with prefixes like fapro:, supporting duotone and full-color effects for advanced customization.
Icons were available across all Home Assistant interfaces, not just Lovelace dashboards, enhancing overall UI consistency.
Officially deprecated as of September 2025, with no updates, bug fixes, or support, making it risky for ongoing use.
Custom SVG icons could embed CSS and JavaScript, posing security risks despite some protections, as noted in the README's warnings.
Stuck at Font Awesome 6.6.0, missing newer icons and improvements from later releases, which limits visual options.
Users must migrate to hass-custom_icons, adding complexity and potential disruption to existing setups.
