Is there any way to make cards take more than one column? [Solved]

Is there any way to make cards take more than one column? IE: How can I make a layout similar to the following crude example?

    [ 1 ] [    2    ] 
    [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]
    [       6       ]

1 = Thermostat card
2 = Weather card taking up 2 columns
3, 4, & 5 = Entities cards for various rooms
6 = Media control card taking up 3 columns

  • I had to come back and edit this post because the forum stripped some spacing in my “sample” layout without my noticing at first (with the result coincidentally matching the best I have been able to do in Home-Assistant so far which is get item 2 to be a single column wide, leaving the space above item 5 completely blank).

yes its possible,

vertical stack the whole thing, with each stack item having a horizontal stack in it, with each horizontal stack item containing the items you want. That’s just a crude 20 second answer for ya

I now have an answer for my question… As of yesterday, Layout-Card by ThomasLoven supports this capability.

have you had any luck getting Layout-Card working??

I have this one setup & working perfectly for me…
