"Null" attributes throw and error (and do not load card)

Bug report notice

Before you file a bug, make sure that you did not make a configuration mistake. The Swiss Army Knife in its current state does not yet have full configuration sanity checks!

So make sure your problem is not related to that!

• [x] Yes, I'm sure that it is not a configuration mistake

Swiss Army Knife version

V2.5.1

Bug description

When defining an attribute in an entity configuration, the entire card disappears if that attribute becomes null. This is for example the case for most attributes of a light when said light is turned off. The console shows an error message with TypeError: t is null. Using a convert statement in the entity config is a workaround to solving this. This is a possible fix for brightness values, but for example for effects of a light it is not.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make a card, and define an entity, for example a light, with its attribute set to effect.
2. Refresh the dashboard.
3. Turn on the light and apply an effect. Refresh the page, the card should be showing correctly.
4. Turn off the light.
5. The card should now have disappeared from the dashboard.
6. See error

Expected behavior

Show the card, passing a state of null or something similar to the connected tools.
