Here we have a list of “device_tracker” entities (except not assigned to any area) sorted by area.

Will post a list of useful posts (just in case):

list an entity’s attributes

passing options into a conventional entity row:
– hide a name
– show an attribute

how to manage a sorting

mass-rename entities

list of batteries

select entities dependently on their attributes

using AND, OR, NOT

card-mod:
– general schema
– conditional card_mod
– glance + card_mod
– card-mod in a template: one, two, three

button-card in a grid
