WTH can’t I create a entity badge in the dashboard? Currently it only lets me add one in the top badge section
Not exactly sure what you mean. The Top badge section is part of the dashboard. Perhaps upload an anotated screenshot?
Sorry I’m not sure of the exact naming of things but here is a screenshot. I want to be able to have the entity badge in the lower sections of the dashboard

When those badge entities were introduced there was a lengthy discussion why there is a functional disconnect between those two areas to begin with. Badges are the only card type allowed in the badge area, all other cards are not allowed in the badge area.
I was of the opinion, that all card types should be allowed in all areas of a dashboard: Header, Footer, Center, Left Pane but only in viewport x, etc… just as it is commonly known from every website building block system like Wordpress. I would be surprised if that is not what we will eventually end up with.
well you can with a little trick:
type: grid
cards:
- type: custom:hui-entity-badge
entity: sun.sun
- type: custom:hui-entity-badge
entity: sun.sun
- type: custom:hui-entity-badge
entity: sun.sun
or
any of the stack cards does a great job here.
can even add them in an entities card
though that would be less obvious

That works for me, thank you! I’ll keep this open because it should be possible to do in the UI without using other cards

sure.
just so you know, this is the core entity-badge card, only referenced by setting custom:hui- in front of it.
in the ‘old’ days (read: before custom:hui-element came along), we used this ‘hack’ to add any card to entities card. And it’s using HA’s builtin card name:

Interresting workaround !
I was not aware.
Thank you
But in this case, we lose the drag and drop and the graphical user interface…
My vote for this improvement into core…
I am also currently using a workaround but it should be part of the core
