Card for Water Leak Sensor

Configuration Frontend
1

I have two Dome water sensors. I am looking for ideas as to showing their status on a card. I have tried most of the standard ones for entities. Just curious what others are using for their leak sensor cards. Ideally I would like to show status and battery %.

My sensors are not battery powered so no battery %, just a glance card showing the states:

water_leak_card

battery is handled elsewhere via Howto create battery alert without creating a template for every device

I use a custom:button-card for a hot water tank leak sensor. The sensor flashes Red when the water sensor is tripped.

Thanks. Have to figure this out. When I use what you shared and put in my own sensors I just get a straight black horizontal line and nothing else at all.

mine flashes the lights in said room until a double click that light switch

Just to confirm, did you install the custom:button_card?
