I'm looking for a minimalistic layout to control and see the status of blinds in the overview dashboard.

I am currently using the entity card and it works but the downside is that it doesn't show the current blind status. I could add a blind status entity but then the card becomes a lot taller. I wanted to see if anyone has any good layouts for their blinds that doesn't take up too much space and allows them to easily control and see their status (ie. open %).

Pretty much what I want is something that is like what is shown below but with like a 2nd line that shows what the current open % is.

Yeah, I just set it to the default blinds option, but it's all automated, so I never touch it.

I open/close my blinds based on what I'm doing and not the time of day. Usually I leave the blinds open for the cats unless I am doing something specific in an area where the glare is too much and annoying.
