Why do manually added thermostat cards look different from ones in the Overview dasboard?

I have have Dashboard for controlling heating. My thermostat cards there look like this:

But the automatically cards in the Overview dashboard look like this:

Note, that in one you select the preset and in the other the one/off state.

Ideally, I would like to combine the two, so that I can select the preset and on/off state from a single card.

Is this possible?

You need to add “features” to your manually created card. The examples here show the tile card but they work for the thermostat card too:

Fan modes: Features for dashboard cards - Home Assistant

HVAC modes: Features for dashboard cards - Home Assistant

Pre-set modes: Features for dashboard cards - Home Assistant

Only the features supported by your thermostat will be shown.
