Types of Card for Templates

Is there a way to get templates to display a certain type of card for those that match the template? For example, I’m looking to make a card that has an input select at the top, and then a list of media players under it. After a LONG time of messing with it, I finally got it to at least display the entities I wanted, but now I’m trying to get them to display as the right type of cards. Is it possible to set the media players that the template spits out to be a different type of card than the rest similar to my second example below, but with templates?

card:
  show_header_toggle: false
  title: Volume Control
  type: entities
filter:
  include:
    - entity_id: input_select.alexa_wha_groups
  template: >
    {%if is_state('input_select.alexa_wha_groups','Master Bedroom')%}{% for
    entity_id in states.group.alexa_wha_master_bedroom.attributes.entity_id
    %}{{- entity_id }},{% endfor %}

    {%elif is_state('input_select.alexa_wha_groups','Downstairs')%}{% for
    entity_id in states.group.alexa_wha_downstairs.attributes.entity_id %}{{-
    entity_id }},{% endfor %}

    {%elif is_state('input_select.alexa_wha_groups','Upstairs')%}{% for
    entity_id in states.group.alexa_wha_upstairs.attributes.entity_id %}{{-
    entity_id }},{% endfor %}

    {%elif is_state('input_select.alexa_wha_groups','Everywhere')%}{% for
    entity_id in states.group.alexa_wha_everywhere.attributes.entity_id %}{{-
    entity_id }},{% endfor %}

    {%elif is_state('input_select.alexa_wha_groups','Everywhere but the Living
    Room')%}{% for entity_id in
    states.group.alexa_wha_everywhere_but_living_room.attributes.entity_id %}{{-
    entity_id }},{% endfor %}

    {%endif%}
show_empty: true
type: 'custom:auto-entities'

card:
  show_header_toggle: false
  title: Audio Players
  type: entities
filter:
  exclude:
    - state: standby
  include:
    - entity_id: media_player.spotify_media_player
      options:
        artwork: cover
        group: true
        hide:
          icon: true
          power: true
        info: short
        type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
    - group: group.audio_players
      options:
        artwork: cover
        group: true
        hide:
          icon: true
          power: true
          source: true
        info: short
        type: 'custom:mini-media-player'
show_empty: false
type: 'custom:auto-entities'

Yep … I have this issue too … appears to be no way to set options for a template filter 😦

Sorry I just cant get this to work.

I have a template that returns all Google Home Speakers:

{% set data = namespace(entities=[]) %} 
{% for entity in states['media_player'] | map(attribute='entity_id') %}
  {% if device_attr(entity, 'manufacturer') == 'Google Inc.' %}
    {% set data.entities = data.entities + [entity] %}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %} 
{{ data.entities | join(", ") }}

and I’d like to display each entity in a type: grid as a custom:button-card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
