Choose between Auto, Box, and Sliders for number entitites. #101

Right now, you're using sliders to adjust some values and number boxes for others. It looks like you use the sliders for entities with a larger range of possible values which makes sense when setting an initial value because it lets you quickly slide from zero to whatever you want. But after that most changes are smaller and using the slider for those can be a hassle. I think a number box would work better. You could click the arrows for small adjustments and for larger ones you could just type in the desired value.

I've been using the custom numberbox-card to do that but it's outdated and i keep having more and more issues with it so I'd rather just use the default number box instead but i can't. I've tried changing the mode like in my example below but it doesn't work. However, maybe you can fix that.

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: number.target_humidity
    mode: box

Or if what I'm saying makes sense and if other users agree, would you consider getting rid of the sliders altogether and using number boxes for everything instead?
