Glance Card	Glance	The Glance card allows you to see a list of entities at a glance.

Glance cards are very compact. Very useful to group together multiple sensors for a quick and easy overview. Keep in mind that this can be used together with entity-filter cards to create dynamic cards.

Define entities as objects and apply a custom name:

type: glance
title: Better names
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.movement_backyard
    name: Movement?
  - light.bed_light
  - binary_sensor.basement_floor_wet
  - sensor.outside_temperature
  - light.ceiling_lights
  - switch.ac
  - lock.kitchen_door
  - entity: switch.wall_plug_switch
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
