Hi. I like the ability to hide cards in Sections dashboard depending on a provided condition. But various cards popping up and disappearing lead to other cards changing location, and that’s a UX problem. Plus, the user may not even realize that the toggle they are looking for is there, but hidden, or I want to always see the state.
So I would like to be able to deactivate a card instead of hiding it sometimes. The logic would be the same as for hiding, but instead of disappearing completely, it would be be similar to a disabled entity or a form element.
There are two workarounds right now. Depending on the specific scenario and entity, I can either have two cards with complementary hiding condition, so only one of them is always visible. Or use Card mod, but that requires some lengthy templating to set up css correctly, and if the particular card is ever modified with UI, it gets thrown away.
Use case: a device controlled exclusively by an automation, where I can see the current status, but not change it, until I disable the automation.
In my case this includes an ambient light simulating daylight in the central part of my home that would be dark otherwise, and parts of climate control.
