Proposed change
Some climate integrations do not have a temperature sensor available to show the current temperature. In these cases, the card shows a big pointless zero as the main element of the card (since a few versions back, I think previously it was just blank, which was better).
Allow to configure a separate temperature sensor to display instead of the current temperature that may or may not be provided by the climate entity. Even if the climate entity, e.g. a A/C unit,m provides a temperature reading, a separate sensor that could be placed away from the heat source could be more relevant.
Display the main temperature value from the following sources, in
order of priority:
If the target temperature is displayed as the main element, do not also
show it below.
