[Feature]: Name + State as content in Entity Chip card

[joe-sydney]

Requirements

• I have updated Mushroom to the latest available version
• I did a search to see if there is a similar issue or if a pull request is open.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

In some cases, I would like to see both the entity name and state in the entity chip card as there may be several entities with the same icon. Currently, we can choose name OR state, not both.

Describe the solution you'd like

The new Home Assistant replacement for "badges" provides is ability, and it would be good to replicate that into the mushroom entity chip card.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Badges have been introduced as many users are using mushroom chips for their dashboard. May I know why you still want to use mushroom chips?

[joe-sydney]

Initially, I thought that the new badges (together with the template badge) would be able to replace the existing mushroom chips- hence you have seen that I closed the request. But I re-opened this request when I found that the new badges continued to be only available at the top of the view (ie where the old badges were). However, I am using chips in the rest of the dashboard (ie not just the top), and perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I couldn't find a way convert those chips into the new badges.

As an additional note, I used to use the custom badge-card, but I also found that the conversions of those badges did not occur as expected. I believe there is an existing open issue on that as well (can't remember on which github).

Thank you for the additional information.
I'm also working at Nabu Casa and I'm looking to bring badges at the top of each sections too. It's hard to bring all the feature we add in Home Assistant to Mushroom because I have to basically do the work twice so I try to merge all the best feature of Mushroom into Home Assistant.

Could you share screenshots of your dashboard to see where there are displayed? 🙂

[joe-sydney]

Understand, perhaps the new badges can be made general so they can be placed anywhere, like the current mushroom chips. Below is one example where I use it, together with auto-entities.

Hi
I'm interested in adding the name + state for the chips too.

I'd like to add to this: specifically I would like to see the "Label" section of the new Badges brought to the Chips. It would be nice to see something like this:

@piitaya - With regards to the base Badge functionality in HA vs maintaining the Chips, I still use Chips in the different sections for things that don't apply to the whole dashboard view, so I love the idea to extend Badges to the new Sections view!

Here's a second example just for sharing of how I had my Room Sections set-up before the Sections view:

(mushroom title card and chip card customized in a stack-in-card).

@piitaya the new header card introduced in 2024.10 can be very versatile for this usage.

It would be very nice to be capable to have an advanced (mushroom?) version of it, with templating capabilities for the icon/title/subtitle + use of a templatable "entities" like the very efficient mushroom badges.

several FR are related to this both:

• on Mushroom side
  for title : Heading: Template Entity #1548
  for new header card: [Feature]: Create a mushroom heading card #1556
• on Frontend side
  Extend Heading card functionality 1. Add support for templates, 2. Add support for multi-line Title and Subtitle home-assistant/frontend#22243

I have the impression based on all our interactions that the "template" part will remain a advanced feature implemented only on mushroom side...

May I know why you still want to use mushroom chips?

Ultimately because I like being able to use card_mod to alter the look of chips. If I could do this with badges I would probably be able to move them all across. However as it is I have to use a combination, choosing whether to have the option of Labels, or custom formatting.
