How to show light and associated room together - and present them in a column?

Hi guys,

I’m currently working on a dashboard intended to identify lights that have been left on accidentally.

Firstly, I’ve ensured that all my lights are in the right domain (ie that their entity type is ‘light’).

Next, I’ve used the excellent auto entities card plugin to create a simple dashboard that does the filtering.

My main lighting dashboard is here:

And this view just shows me what’s on:

And the logic:

The last step I’d like to take:

Add the room after the light in the column so that it would say “Strip Light (Daniel Office)” rather than just “Strip Light”.

Is the best way to achieve this by creating a template? And … is there an easy way to configure a column presentation within an entities card?

TIA

This could help … is a gem of a card
