Disable entity picture image overrides

By default, UIX patches standard Home Assistant badge and marker elements (ha-entity-marker, ha-tile-icon, state-badge, ha-user-badge, ha-person-badge) to allow custom entity picture image overrides (such as --uix-image or --uix-image-for-<entity_id>). UIX provides an option to disable this patching behavior to improve rendering performance and reduce CPU overhead on low-power devices.

Setting via the integration UI

The option is unset by default. To set the option:

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings → Devices & Services → UI eXtension → Configure.
2. Select Performance settings from the menu.
3. Toggle Disable entity picture image overrides on.
4. Save.

The setting takes effect immediately across all connected browser sessions — no page reload required.

Behavior when set

When this option is set:

• Standard Home Assistant badge and marker elements are not patched or monitored for custom image properties.
• Existing custom entity picture image overrides via CSS variables (e.g. --uix-image, --uix-image-for-*) will not be applied to badge or marker elements.
