Cards
Each dashboard is made up of cards.

Card categories
There are several different card types, each with their own configuration options. They can be categorized in terms of their function:
- Specific to a device type or service: alarm, light, humidifier, thermostat, plant status, media control, weather forecast, shopping list, map, logbook, and calendar card
- Grouping other cards: vertical stack, horizontal stack, and grid card
- Logic function: conditional and entity filter card
- Display generic data: sensor, history graph, statistic, statistics graph, energy, gauge, and webpage card
- Control devices and entities: button and entity card
- Display data and control entities: area, picture elements, and picture glance card
Card actions, features, header and footer widgets
Some cards have support for tap actions. These actions define what will happen when you tap or hold on an object within a card.
Some cards have support for features. These widgets add quick controls to the card. Supported features depend on the card and entity capabilities. Multiple features can be added to a single card.
