Show garage door status on a widget?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

Hi there!
I successfully created an Android screen widget for cover.toggle entity that can open/close my garage door. But it does not reflect current door status. Is it possible to change label/icon to reflect current door status?

- when I logged in to HA instance in docker.
On my phone I can only select an entity and an icon from the icon’s list and add a label

It’s a card on my dashboard.
On your Dashboard. Click on 3 dots - top right. Enable Edit mode…
Click on Add Card. Lovelace Card
Entity…

Edit… Sorry I have Mushroom and it’s a Custom Mushroom Cover Card

Oh, thanks for a tip for Mushroom project!
But anyway, how is it related to Android widgets? Will Android widgets inherit Mushroom card behavior somehow?

No they won’t. If you want to show the state of an entity you need to use the entity state widget.
