Native support for select entities

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I like to have control over the night vision mode of my Tuya camera. Fortunately, the Tuya integration provides a Select entity with the options Automatic, On and Off.

I wanted to include a menu button in the Frigate card that would allow me to switch between these options.

Describe the solution you’d like Something like below:

- type: custom:frigate-card-menu-select
  conditions:
    view:
      - live
    camera:
      - camera.rua
    entity: select.camera_da_rua_night_vision

That could auto-color the icon based on entity’s icon and auto-mark the selected option as selected. And, of course, auto-render a submenu based on the available options.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered The following, but I haven’t figured out yet how could I mark the selected option as selected based on the entity state.

- type: custom:frigate-card-menu-submenu
  icon: mdi:theme-light-dark
  conditions:
    view:
      - live
    camera:
      - camera.rua
  items:
    - title: Automatic
      icon: mdi:theme-light-dark
      tap_action: 
        action: call-service
        service: select.select_option
        service_data:
          entity_id: select.camera_da_rua_night_vision
          option: '0'
    - title: Off
      icon: mdi:weather-sunny
      tap_action: 
        action: call-service
        service: select.select_option
        service_data:
          entity_id: select.camera_da_rua_night_vision
          option: '1'
    - title: On
      icon: mdi:weather-night
      tap_action: 
        action: call-service
        service: select.select_option
        service_data:
          entity_id: select.camera_da_rua_night_vision
          option: '2'

Additional context None.

BTW, arbitrary Select entities can be created using Templates.

I can’t thank you enough!
