I want to add a switch to my dashboard. But I don't just want it to be a button. When I add a card and select by entity, I can see a "preview" of exactly what I want it to look like (see below). But I cannot add that as a card. It doesn't matter what card I choose, it always looks different. I noticed the same for all sorts of other entities. I know I was able to have such a button in my dashboard some years ago, when I first played around with it. After a break I'm coming back to homeassistant and this is really frustrating me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is not quite what I had in mind, but I'll still poke around, because I see a lot of YAML in my future...

What I was after was having a switch just like the one shown in the screenshot as a card in the Dashboard. All I can add is a button that changes the color. I know I can YAML it, but it still feels weird that an obvious nice solution is not readily available.
