I think that this request can be a little bit generalized to the capability to display in a Tile card the various entities of a device.

There has been a wide "campaign" to remove attributes from entities and have a device with entities instead.

This case of the smart plug is a good example of a device (smart plug) with entities (switch, power, energy, etc), where it would be useful to find a way in a Tile to:

• control the device (here the switch)
• display information on the device (state of the switch, power, energy)
• display features of the other entities (minigraph of the power, toggle switch of the switch, etc...)

While the tile card is currently capable to display some attributes of an entities, it cannot display other entities state or attributes or features from the same device.

Some workaround could be:

• in a tile card to be able to display state or attributes of the other entities of the linked entity device
• have a dedicated "Device Tile Card" for device where you select the entity for Icon behaviour and chose what to display for name, state, and features...

Hi, I think adding a simple tile card like this would be a really smart improvement. It would give a quick and clear overview of power usage, making it easier to monitor devices without going through extra steps. A clean design also helps keep the dashboard organized and user-friendly.

Many users prefer features that save time and make daily tasks smoother. That’s why tools like this can be so helpful, they make things more convenient, just like how a bonus card simplifies shopping. Having a quick visual card for energy usage will make the dashboard more practical and efficient for everyone. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in everyday use.

There is some insight of a planned "device card" that should arrive after some work is done on the device itself...
