The System Metrics card

Theatrium ProWorks with: Home AssistantAbout 1 minute to set up

A round gauge for any percentage, processor load, memory, humidity, from a Home Assistant sensor.

What it shows

One big dial from 0 to 100 percent, colored green through red as it fills, with a word beside it (Low, High). It was made for a home server's processor and memory, but any percentage sensor fits.
