[FEATURE REQUEST] more than 4 individual cards to be configured but only 4 shown #578

I really like the possibility to be able to configure 4 devices, but I found myself combining multiple devices into 1 entity to be able to keep within the 4 device limit, so stuff like the washer, dryer and dishwasher into 1 entity.

I think the 4 device limit is a good limit from a UI point of vieuw because more would clutter the look of the card.

But I would like to be able to configure more then 4 individual devices. Then the card uses the same conditions as it does now to hide and show the devices, but when there are more then 4 devices who satisfy the conditions, the card would just show the 4 highest power devices.

I love this idea, though I don't think it would be easy to implement.

I also thought of implementing different logics, like making some individual devices priority devices (so no matter what, they are awlays shown, etc...)
