Describe the enhancement

Instead of having to create a template sensor/templating just to count the number entities within a group, it would great if we could have an option to select 'Count' as the group state content within the cards like badges/tile.

I've given examples of open/off state below, if this is not viable without templating, then just a simple group 'count' would be sufficient.

By implementing this simple logic internally, it makes it easier for everyone to use across the frontend.

Example

Google Home:

Use cases

Count:

• Light groups - Count how many lights in that group/or how many lights are on/off.
• Media groups - Count how many Speakers downstairs.
• Doors/Windows - Count how many Doors/Windows are open/closed.
• Presence - Count how many people home/away.

There is so many possibilities and examples to list.

Anything else?

That's precisely the argument to not add it just because there's so many use-cases --> That's exactly what templates are for so you can get exactly what you need.

Not necessarily, my point being is to implement basic level counting, and leave complex logic for templating.

Added example to op.

Complementary suggestion: Also display the count of members : "1 of 5 on", "1/5 on"
