Set entity status by service call?

Feature Requests
1

I like the new feature in 2022.4 to be able to set an entity to hidden.
It would be neat to be able to automate entity status for ex. different seasons by a automation.

service: homeassistant.set_entity_activity
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: light.christmastree

service: homeassistant.set_entity_hidden
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: light.christmastree

Would be a good idea. E.g. set entity status of a helper to hidden if an entity isn’t available.
