Adding Lights to a Dashboard

Configuration
1

Hello all

I Hope you are Well.

I am still Learning Home Assistant and I have a Question :slight_smile:

When I Add a Light to a Dashboard in Home Assistant it shows on the Dashboard as a Small Rectangle with the Name of the Light and the Current Status.

If I then Click on it it Opens the Light Control.

My Question is this:

Is it possible to Add a Light to the Dashboard and have it show the Light Control without having to Click on the Small Rectangle?

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Yep, use a Tile Card:

EDIT: Forgot to paste the yaml of the tile card Iā€™m using.
Clicking the icon will toggle the light.
Clicking on the text will bring up the popup to see the full light control
Clicking on the slider will set the brightness

type: tile
entity: light.kitchen_strip
icon: mdi:led-strip-variant
hide_state: false
vertical: false
tap_action:
  action: more-info
icon_tap_action:
  action: toggle
features:
  - type: light-brightness
features_position: bottom

You can omit the below from your code since this is default behaviour:

tap_action:
  action: more-info
icon_tap_action:
  action: toggle
