With the new select card I finally could improve the visuals and simplicity of my mobile tech view. I use the card to set the start time for a light scene or to disable.
While configuring the card, I saw further potential for improvements or even a new card type.
"Dual input" or simply "Input"
How the new select card looks atm:

The options to configure different fixed options and then to trigger automations is cool, however it lacks flexibility to tune the timings. I am aware of different input select cards (+ popups), but I also think they don't play nice in a mushroom focused setup or require extra code.
Suggestion for a new input card type:
Couple of explanations:
1: Could be a button to switch an input.boolean. This could make sense if I want to disable a scene completely (e.g. no wake up light tomorrow). The button color should reflect the state (on = coloured, off = greyed out). The Icon would be the button, pretty much like in HomeKit where the icon is the switch and the card (single tap) opens further details.
2: Can show the state of the boolean. This would also allow for more than on/off. When I want to switch between 2 values this is the area where the value could be shown.
3: The area where I can adjust the time for an input.datetime.
The card could then also provide further features through the usual tap, double tap & hold.
Makes sense? :)
