# Light Entity Card

> Light Entity Card is a dashboard card for Home Assistant. It has 290 GitHub stars and was last updated September 24, 2026.

Light Entity Card is a dashboard card for controlling any light or switch entity from a Home Assistant dashboard. It works with light and switch based entities and offers an on/off toggle, a hue and saturation color wheel, and color temperature and white value controls. A compact mode suits grouped entities, and the card follows the configured language. Entity features can be kept visible at all times, and a custom effects list can be supplied directly or taken from an input select entity. The header and each input can be set to always show or always hide. On Home Assistant 2026.4 or later, the header uses the composed display name by default and can be a list built from entity, device, area, floor and literal text parts.
