I want to add a switch to my dashboard. But I don't just want it to be a button. When I add a card and select by entity, I can see a "preview" of exactly what I want it to look like (see below). But I cannot add that as a card. It doesn't matter what card I choose, it always looks different. I noticed the same for all sorts of other entities. I know I was able to have such a button in my dashboard some years ago, when I first played around with it. After a break I'm coming back to homeassistant and this is really frustrating me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that bottom image is when you press the more information button (3 dots). It's the same with light dimmers and thermostats, you get more info and a different card.

I wish that style was also available just in the dashboard and not hidden behind buttons.
