Proposal

Enhance the Scheduler Card by allowing device class-based inclusion, not just entity IDs, to simplify automation configuration and improve flexibility.

Problem Statement:
Currently, the Scheduler Card requires hardcoding entity IDs (wildcards are supported) for inclusion. However, Home Assistant’s entity ID system is inconsistent, making it difficult to manage dynamically changing devices. For example, adding new power outlets requires manually updating the configuration. Instead, allowing inclusion based on device_class (e.g., outlet) would ensure all relevant devices are automatically considered without requiring manual updates.

Proposed Solution:
Extend the current entity inclusion logic to support filtering devices by their device_class. This would enable users to include all devices of a certain type (e.g., all outlets) without specifying individual entity IDs.
