I want to show solar panel data. One card with three values for each panel, then those cards stuck in a vertical stack (or a view I guess would also be fine)
I can’t get the basic solar panel card to do what I want, I have more data on there than I want. My definition
entities:
- entity: sensor.solar_panel_1_active
name: ' '
- entity: sensor.solar_panel_1_current_watts
- entity: sensor.solar_panel_1_lte
show_header_toggle: false
title: Solar Panel One
type: entities
and what I get is:
And what I would like is just the values for those three sensors, not the name or custom name and alot of space. So in this case have it read ```ACTIVE, 0 watts, 12345 Watt/hours" . Any thoughts on if I can do that? ( I also notice if I click the sensor name, I get a graph for 30 minutes which isn’t really what I would want, but kind of don’t care a lot about that right now)
Additionally, I was going to make a status card with just the active status for all the panels on it. Green if they are ACTIVE / RED if they are not. Anything like that already exist I could leverage? I’m not super up on the UI components yet.

You could use a glance card with show_name and show_icon set to false.
if you want them stacked vertically set the number of columns to 1.
perfect, just what I wanted thanks!

If anyone is curious I did the following:
columns: 4

There are probably ways to make it look prettier, but that is compact which is what I wanted.
