The card has now been completely redesigned with a look and feel similar to the [Tile card](/dashboards/tile/). It integrates seamlessly into Sections thanks to its flexible layouts.

## Integration sub entries
|
||||
|
||||
Ever wondered why you had to enter your API keys for every AI agent you created, while they were all using the same key? Or why you had to authenticate for every calendar you wanted to add for the same account? Or why you couldn't add MQTT devices from the UI?
|
||||
|
||||
This release solves that with the introduction of integration sub entries. This allows you to add a sub entry to an existing integration entry. This means, for example, that your integration entry has your credentials, and all the sub entries use these credentials. In the sub entry, you can then configure what should be done with these credentials, such as fetching a specific calendar, adding 3 AI agents with different prompts using the same OpenAI account, or in the case of MQTT, configuring devices that are connected to your broker.
