restriction-card VS button-card

Restriction Card

There's a Restriction custom card that you can use with pretty much any other card type. It can block people from being able to change values. It's not the most elegant solution but it is functional.

I use the custom button card but any card that support tap_action should do. This may be more complicated than you need but I also use decluttering templates (which I omitted here). I hope it isn't too complicated.

HI, try to use custom-button available in HACS, needs a little bit of coding but it is worth it! https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card and a good source also here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/fun-with-cutom-button-card/238450

Custom Button Card

I've got my current layout pretty close using button-card, but I am not sure how to / if I can pull in data from other sensors that aren't the main entity. Here is my code so far:

As for the "Turn on TV", "Turn off TV", "Play Xbox", "Play PS4" stuff, you can create buttons for them, rather than using switches, using something like Button Card or something. Personally, I think pulling out a phone, waiting for some app to load, scrolling around to whatever thing and pressing a button is just stupid and slow, so I have a few physical buttons around my house. The Hank 4 button/8 scene remote is good, I have a few of them. I've also got some much cheaper Sonoff RM433 8 button remotes that I integrate with rtl_433. Each of my Inovelli Red dimmers also has 11 possible "buttons" via 2/3/4/5x tap and the config button single tap. So I've got zero-fuss buttons to hit for things that aren't easily automated, like "play Xbox" or whatever. It's so much faster to just hit a real button than to fumble around with a phone app. Plus, our phones are usually not nearby anyway.

You can use custom-button-card to achieve this, and more.

It's simply just custom button cards with "spin: true" as one of the properties! The icon must be completely centered otherwise it will spin weird
