I have been messing around with auto-entities recently and wanted to share some YAML im using which makes managing running addons so much easier. By utilizing auto-entities and custom button card, you can create a compact list which displays all the currently running addons. I also got starting and stopping the addon working by clicking on the button. This actually works better for me compared to HAs built in addon page :D Heres a preview of what it looks like on my dashboard:

Clicking the button shows a dialog asking you to confirm starting/stopping the service:

Note that the binary sensors can take a couple minutes to update, so you dont instantly see the addons change states. You need to go into your entities and enable the “running” binary sensor for each addon you want to show in this list. Also im sure the YAML/JS can be improved, but it works!

This uses custom:auto-entities and custom:button-card.
