Possible to make it work with auto-entities?

[alex-tomin]

Auto-entitities would help a lot to generate multiple cards following same tempalte. Relevant if one has a setup requiring multiple similar thermostats (e.g. multi zone system).

When I try to use it I get just entity not availbale from simple thermostat card:

Auto-entities card example, producing the above error

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: custom:simple-thermostat
filter:
  include:
    - domain: climate

When I specify property explicitly using card_param

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: custom:simple-thermostat
filter:
  include:
    - domain: climate
card_param: entity

the error I get is a bit different (seems now an array of objects is passed)

Any help with troubleshooting is appreciated. (maybe there's a simply workaround, or just a mistake in my script above, but hard to know without understanding what's happening behind the scenes.)
