Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
No problem, just an idea. It would be really cool to combine room presence with quick tiles, so that I can have a couple of quick tiles immediately available that are contextual to the room I'm in.
Sure, I could just make "Tile 1" call a script and handle all of the logic there, but unfortunately, the app makes you define a label, icon, and entity to toggle. So the quick tile would have to be called something generic and it wouldn't actually say what it is that it is toggling. It would work, but would be easy to forget what "Tile 1" and "Tile 2" are supposed to do.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Either the ability to use a {{template}} for the label/icon, or, providing an action that would allow you to update the settings for a specific tile, that could be called via an automation when the room presence detects a different room.
**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**
I think you can do something like this with Tasker/AutoNotification, but it seems like it would be way more tedious to configure, and probably not as reactive.
**Additional context**
I realize that this is probably a lot more complicated than it sounds due to having to integrate with an Android feature (quick tiles) and those exist outside of the HA app. But I haven't seen any other discussion around making quick settings tiles "dynamic" so I at least thought it was an interesting idea to explore. Moving from one room to another, and having a couple quick tiles that contextually change to things in that room would be sweet!
