Creating a card to display two binary sensor states' status based on on/off

1

I have two binary sensors that help trigger on/off states for an outdoor z-wave outlet.

I’m looking to add a card to the dashboard that:

  1. Displays the two holidays with static text
  2. Shows a checkbox (mdi-checkbox-marked vs. mdi-checkbox-blank-outline?) within a stack card for the binary sensor status if each is on or off. Is there an easy way to do this?

With some help from ChatGPT I was able to get the framework coded. Then it was a matter of figuring out how to slice and dice it between vertical and horizontal stack cards with custom stack-in-cards.

Might be very niche, but here’s the code if anyone is interested. Still trying to figure out how to change the icons from the garish yellow so it matches the rest of the “green for on” format.

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:mushroom-title-card
    title: Holiday Light Schedule
  - type: horizontal-stack
    cards:
      - type: entities
        entities:
          - type: custom:stack-in-card
            mode: horizontal
            cards:
              - type: conditional
                conditions:
                  - entity: binary_sensor.halloween_schedule
                    state: 'on'
                card:
                  type: button
                  name: Halloween Schedule
                  icon: mdi:checkbox-marked
