#Cycling card visibility automatically

Hey! Is it possible to cycle the visibility of a bunch of cards automatically when there has been no interaction with it for some amount of time? I could probably do the cycling with an automation but I don't exactly know how pausing when an interaction happend would work out.

The only spitball I can think of would be if every entity/action on the card was also tied to automation that set a timestamp of a helper entity (or a JSON of timestamps to cover every entity - more complex) to use as a condition on the card visibility. I think it would be very easy to really over engineer such a solution! You would also have to determine "how do I get it to show again if it's hidden", would it be tapping a button on the dash that resets all timestamps? Your automation would also have to account for if you tapped it on the dash versus went into the entity directly to turn it on/off since there is no real way to distinguish between the two.

It is doable but it would be a hassle to build but an even bigger pain to maintain going forward. Unless there is some HACS card that someone built that already does this, but it's such a unique request I would be surprised.
