Change default card for entity

Configuration Frontend
1

Is there a way to change the default ‘card’ or ‘control’ that is used to visualise/manipulate entities in the auto-generated pages such as the overview and device entities pages?

Specifically, i’d like to use the ‘slide-to-confirm’ card found in HACS to replace the default buttons to open/unlock my front gate and door. But for now (just started using HA) i’m quite happy with the auto-generated overview and it seems overkill to have to create an entire new dashboard just to change those 2 buttons.

From the HA documents: Built-in dashboards are available out of the box, cannot be deleted, and there are limited options on how much you can edit them.

I don’t use the built-in dashboards, but I’m pretty sure you will need to add a new dashboard to add new cards.

Check out the Dashboard docs for more info.
