I automate my blinds based off their position, the sun position, and the forecasted high temperature for the day. (And the TV if there's on in the room). So I pretty much never use the UI.

But I usually just use the popup UI if I need to make a one off change.

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"

I use auto-entities, stack-in-card and mushroom:

Everything is compact and I can overview everything quickly. Here everything is closed because it's night here but when they are open they show "open xx%". Also when I double tap they go to 10% which almost closes them but lets a little bit of light pass so it's not too dark (I use it mainly when it's hot outside and the sun directly hit the blind).

Here is the card yaml:

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: custom:stack-in-card
card_param: cards
filter:
  template: |
    [{% for e in states.cover %}
          {
            'type': 'custom:mushroom-cover-card',
            'entity': '{{ e.entity_id }}',
            'name': '{{ device_attr(e.entity_id, "name").removeprefix("Volet ") }}',
            'layout': 'horizontal',
            'show_buttons_control': 'true',
            'show_position_control': 'true',
            'double_tap_action': {
              'action': 'perform-action',
              'perform_action': 'cover.set_cover_position',
              'target': { 'device_id': '{{ device_id(e.entity_id) }}' },
              'data': { 'position': 10 }
            }
          },
    {% endfor %}]
sort:
  method: friendly_name

Yeah, I just set it to the default blinds option, but it's all automated, so I never touch it.
