I would love for there to be a card where you could specify a wildcard for the entities that get displayed. Or just have the ability to use wildcards in entity selection. For example, if I would like to have a single card with all of my motion sensors displayed on it:
- type: entities
title: All Motion Sensors
wildcard_entities: binary_sensor.*_motion_sensor
Or something like that. I have several use cases:
Easily make a list of all motion or door sensors as a security card. Could be combined with a filter to only show the ones that are active
Card with all automations listed, to be able to easily disable ones during guests/parties/maintenance
Card will all lights, combined with filter to only show the ones that are on
Stuff like that.

i use an entity card, but have a single sensor for
the locks sensor will show something like this:
Back Door, Front door & Utility Door Unlocked
Here is an example of the sensor.motion_summary:
- platform: template
sensors:
motion_summary:
value_template: >
{%-for state in states.binary_sensor
if(state.attributes.device_class=="motion" and state.state=="on")-%}
{%-if loop.last-%}
{%-if loop.index > 0-%}
{%-for state in states.binary_sensor if(state.attributes.device_class=="motion" and state.state =="on")-%}
{{state.name}}{%-if not loop.last -%}{%-if(loop.index+1==loop.length)%} & {%else%}, {%endif-%}{%-else%} active{%endif-%}
{%-endfor-%}
{%-endif-%}
{%-endif-%}
{%-else-%}
all clear
{%-endfor-%}
icon_template: >
{%-for state in states.binary_sensor
if(state.attributes.device_class=="motion" and state.state=="on")-%}
{%-if loop.last-%}
{%-if loop.index > 0-%}
mdi:run-fast

Great scott! That’s exactly what I was after!
Thank you, @JTPublic !

Anyone have the skills to tweak that code to summarize devices with either say attributes.device_class = battery or with attributes.battery_level and a value below 75? Trying to find an easy way to summarise all battery powered devices into one notification without going to the full on MQTT discovery battery_levels package thingy.

all it show me is all clear

Your indentation is all messed up. I’m not an expert in Jinja, but I know in the YAML files, indentation matters. Look at the example a few posts above yours.
I know it’s been years but as a new HA user i came across this thread while searching for a good way to display low battery devices.
I’ve got it working now using the example above. Here are my 4 templates for doors, locks, motion and battery.

This type of functionality should really be packaged into a component that is more consumable for casual users. I read that entity-filter used to something similar, but that functionality was removed. It’s really a shame because having the ability to do wildcards on entity name/id’s would make HomeAssistant a lot more usable and approachable.

Update: Looks like lovelace-auto-entities. will do the trick!
I haven’t tried it yet, though.
