🔌 Switch Card (`switch`)

A simple on/off tile. Tap it to toggle. Made for switch.* entities, and works with anything Home Assistant can toggle whose state is on / off: input_boolean, fan, automation…

For a light with brightness and colour, use the Light card instead.

✨ Features & Possibilities

Tap anywhere on the tile: calls <domain>.toggle on the entity.
Name and state (On / Off, in the remote's language).
Colour when on: the whole tile takes the on_color background, green by default. A dark red for a heater, a blue for a fan…
Icon: power (default), heater, fan or bulb, or one of your PNG icons (since 1.2.9).

⚙️ Options Reference

`name`	string	friendly name	Name shown on the tile.
`on_color`	string	`#FF2E5A46` (green)	Tile background when on: `#RRGGBB`, or `#AARRGGBB` for transparency, e.g. `#805A1F1F`.
`icon`	string	power	Keyword: `heater` (or `heat`), `fan`, `bulb` (or `light`), or a PNG path like `/sdcard/astrion/icons/heater.png` (1.2.9+). Anything else shows the power icon.
