Screenshot sensor, fail state?

Is there a way currently where if the PC is asleep for example and the screenshot sensor has no data to either hide the card or display a line of text like "PC is not currently available"?

Solution:

i assume UI. 1. Add a conditional card 2. Add a condition for entity state 3. Set it to check that the screenshot is not unavailable...

i assume UI. 1. Add a conditional card 2. Add a condition for entity state 3. Set it to check that the screenshot is not unavailable 4. Open code editor and paste in yaml from previous card under card:, or add card via UI My simple one looks like this:

type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot
    state: unavailable
card:
  show_state: true
  show_name: true
  camera_view: auto
  type: picture-entity
  camera_image: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot
  entity: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot

type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot
    state: unavailable
card:
  show_state: true
  show_name: true
  camera_view: auto
  type: picture-entity
  camera_image: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot
  entity: camera.zachs_laptop_screenshot
