I’ve created a feature request to show more detailed information on each node on the esphome main screen. Information such as
IP address
MAC address
Connected SSID
anything else you think might be helpful rather then having to open a log on each device to vew the information.
Give if bump if this is something you think you would like to see

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
More information in the ESPHOME main screen for each device. Display information on each device such as
- IP address
- MAC address
- Hostname
- Connected SSID
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
manually recording this information is currently how I keep track of the subnet allocation etc. This is tedious and painful as a manual process. Having this information will be much easier, also opening the logs on each device manually is a pain.
**Additional context**
You are aware that you can easily create such a dashboard in HA which suits your personal needs?
Give auto entities a try as it can pull all your esphome nodes (and other devices?) entites into your dashboard without manually add new ones or remove old ones
PS.: I actuallly don’t use the dashboard at all as with 100+ esphome nodes it is just not practical (and adding IP, MAC and SSID wouldn’t change a thing)
EDIT: This could be a good starting point for your adventure:
How do you (if at all) track status of your wifi devices? I’d like to have all of them in one (big) card. For now i do have them, but i use decluttering template and vertical stack card configured so that i get a list of all devices, like:
name1: IP1 - Wifi strength1 - MAC1
name2: IP2 - Wifi strength2 - MAC2
But, each time i add a new device i have to manually add it to this card. Is there a better way? Something in style of “battery state card” - this card automatically finds all cards wit…
