What UI do you use to control your blinds? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a minimalistic layout to control and see the status of blinds in the overview dashboard.

I am currently using the entity card and it works but the downside is that it doesn't show the current blind status. I could add a blind status entity but then the card becomes a lot taller. I wanted to see if anyone has any good layouts for their blinds that doesn't take up too much space and allows them to easily control and see their status (ie. open %).

Pretty much what I want is something that is like what is shown below but with like a 2nd line that shows what the current open % is.

I just use a tile card. Simple, but great!

    - type: horizontal-stack
      cards:
        - type: tile
          entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_links
          features:
            - type: "cover-open-close"
            - type: "cover-position"
        - type: tile
          entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_rechts
          features:
            - type: "cover-open-close"
            - type: "cover-position"

Hmmm I guess I could try placing them side by side. Will try it after work. Thanks!

Welcomes! Btw: If you want to make it even slimmer, you can also remove features. Or you add some if wanted (like tilting, if your cover supports it).

Oh interesting. I didn't realize I can just use Tile. Thanks!
