One of the main things a lot of Home Assistant users like to see is whats on in the home - lights, AC's, Fans, etc' Would be nice that the first submenu at the top would be an "active" menu that will show everything that is on in the home, possibly categorized to domains, while at the top of each domain is a "global" toggle that lets you turn everything in that domain off.

so there is no screenshot as it would be your interface. It's just an additional list of lights, but just the ones that are on. Just an iteration of what is in "on" state

@kaaspad I have 150 devices in my home, in the evening 70 are on. What should happen? :)

so there really are two options in HA that people use - one is it actually displays all of them (since the real estate is small here, you can display them by room (cascading), or just the number of lights on with a turn off button (less useful, but also ok if you are not home and someone left on lights or worse an AC). In any case I think the first option would be better with cascading rooms.
