Hi all,
is there any chance to display text memos on the dashboard. I am thinking about a card wich displays infos like "Dishwasher is on" "Humidity in bathroom high" or similar on a card dependent of a bolean helper.
For each message a new line, if no memo to display, card will remain empty.
Is there anything like this available?

Regards
Flo

Sounds like a markdown card?

Here's an example of one of my Markdown "notification" cards. In this case, I have a template sensor that watches entities that are tagged to be monitored. If all are available (the state count is 0), the card shows All Good in green letters. If the state count is greater than 0, it will show red text saying Unavailable: with the list of entities in the unavailable attribute.

type: markdown
content: |
  {% set e = "sensor.unavailable_monitored_entities" %}
  {% if states(e) | int == 0 %}
    <center><font size=5 color="green">All Good!</center>
  {% else %}
    <center><font size=5 color="red">Unavailable: {{ state_attr(e, "unavailable") }}
  {% endif %}

Again, this is a sensor that I made. You can apply your own logic such as IF bathroom humidity sensor is greater than 50% then show "Bathroom humidity is high" ELSE show nothing. You might need a line break <br> after the text so multiple responses don't get jumbled together.
