In a room with no fixed heating, I am using a smart socket and plug-in electric heater.

The heater has physical selections for 750W, 1250W or 2000W, and a built-in physical thermostatic switch.

The smart socket has a sensor for energy consumption rate.

It would be good to display the actual power of the heater on the lovelace card, when a sensor is available.

Hello @HACS-bank,

I understand the idea but a switch doesn't have any power consumption but can only switch. So it means adding more entities in configuration.

What I will certainly do, is to allow adding third party entities sensor into the Versatile UI Card like it is done in the custom:simple-thermostat.
