Localization and formatting¶

Flexible Horseshoe Card uses the name, state, unit, precision, icon, area, and locale known by Home Assistant. In many cards, defining the entity is enough.

Start with the entity¶

entities:
  - entity: sensor.energy_today

Entity tools can now show the localized name, state, unit, icon, and area.

Override the display¶

Add an override only where this card should look different:

entities:
  - entity: sensor.energy_today
    name: Today
    decimals: 2
    unit: kWh
