Please consider to add a name field option to the entities. Some entities have the same icon. Best Eric

I agree. Let's see if the component is successful among the community ... if I take a few stars, I will invest some time in this and other improvements

Thanks and starred! This card is not just for taking care of plants. For example, I want to use it to record the life of the filter element of my air purifier or water purifier, or the membership subscription service that needs to be renewed, or to record the days when the car needs maintenance, etc. It really has a wide range of uses!

Yes, I know. I wrote in the description just two use cases but there are many. We can create a page and list other examples

My usage is similar to what shadowdavis mentioned (a list of filter/battery replacements etc) So I don’t user the image option. In my case, I would love to have the name printed @ the left of the icons, in order to more easily discriminate them: 950E2D40-EBE8-4D6B-9A5D-B69BE2AD099D
