Problem or Use Case

My printer is inside an enclosure with an exhaust fan to ensure all of the fumes are extracted away outside. I have Contact Sensors on the doors for the enclosure that are linked to Home Assistant. It would be nice to be able to see their state on the Printer Card to know if I left the enclosure open before I start a print remotely.

Proposed Solution

Add the ability to include binary_sensor types from Home Assistant and then display them on the Printer Card inline or under the existing HA switches. Configuration of the binary_sensor could likely use the same modal as configuration of the HA switches.

Bonus points if we can get notifications based on the state, but that is obviously a lot more work.

Alternatives Considered

There is no way to read in sensor data and display it, so therefore there is no workaround in Bambuddy. Current workaround is simply to utilize the Bambu Integration in HA and use an Automation there to send an alert.
