The Lovelace Entities card has a type parameter for each entity to set the card type to use to display this entity. This appears to only work with custom cards and not the built-in ones. For example, I was using the custom gauge card before it was included in HA and the following works fine
- type: entities
title: My Phone
entities:
- entity: sensor.my_phone_battery_state
name: Battery State
- entity: sensor.stevens_phone_battery_level
name: Battery Level
type: custom:gauge-card
min: 0
max: 100
severity:
red: 0
yellow: 20
green: 70
and displays the battery level as a gauge. However, replacing type: custom:gauge-card
with type: gauge
simply displays using the default card. Am I doing something wrong, or does the entities card simply not support built-in cards for the display of entities.
