Add 'automation' tile type to enable easily pausing an automation

It would be great if there was an easier way to pause select automations (rules machine, simple automations, motion and mode) from a dashboard.

I know it is possible to create rules using vswitches to achieve more or less this behavior. However, that approach is very tedious at scale, and requires additional work every time an automation is introduced. It would be great if all the native automation apps supported a pause/resume virtual switch as part of the app. (in the same way that the scene/group app supports a virtual capture switch). Or if there was a tile type that did this and we could allow a dashboard access to an app.

I know that feature request list is a mile long, so I am not expecting this anytime soon...if ever. However, it sure would be nice.

Thanks
