Those cards are just tile cards.

Can you test your entity with just a tile card instead of entities card.

If it doesn't work for tile card, you can change the description such that it just does not work for tile card, and has nothing to do with Area dashboard in general.

Actually I have them in my own current room dashboards as Tile cards with an image. I actually made a screenshot of that but apparently forgot to include it.

[mvdwetering]

Ow, I think I found it.

It looks like the switch to show the picture is disabled when creating a new Tile card, so that is probably why the images are not showing. When the switch is on the image shows.

However I can't seem to change the switch without taking control of the Area dashboard which is not great because the dashboard will not get updated anymore with new features or new entities.
