Deactivating entities

I dacitivated (not deleted) my christmas lights since the switches and lights are not used until christmas anymore, but instead of them not being displayed in lovelace anymore, my UI now displays them as missing entities. Is there a way to also disable the entities in the UI (and not removing them from it completely?). It would be awesome if you could for example (temporarily) disable entire cards.

Otherwise this whole idea of disabling entities only makes limited sense.

You could use the custom-state-switch-card to hide the card if the entity state is “unknown”.
