Module type: auto_entity_list · Category: Data · Free

Dynamically discover and list Home Assistant entities by domain, device class, state, and keyword — with pinned/hidden overrides, sort options, and four row styles.

Features

• Filter by domain, device class, keyword — include and exclude lists
• State-based filtering — match entity state with operators
• 4 row styles — Compact, Detailed, Slim, Card
• Pinned entities — always show specific entities first (with optional per-row color override)
• Hidden entities — always exclude
• Sort — by name, last changed, state, or domain (asc/d desc)
• Entity color highlighting — RGB lights can tint their own row
• Per-row overrides — custom label, icon, and color for pinned entities
• Standard actions — tap / hold / double-tap per row
