Sensor, binary sensor, button, image, number and select template entities are defined in your YAML configuration files, directly under the `template:` key and cannot be configured via the UI. You can define multiple configuration blocks as a list. Each block defines sensor/binary sensor/number/select entities and can contain an optional update trigger. Sensor and binary sensor can be configured using [UI](#ui-configuration) or [YAML](#yaml-configuration) file.

# UI configuration
Sensor template and binary sensor template can be configured using the user interface at **{% my helpers title="Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers" %}**. Select the **+ Add helper** button and then select the **{% my config_flow_start domain=input_datetime title="Template" %}** helper.
To be able to add **{% my helpers title="Helpers" %}** via the user interface, you should have `default_config:` in your `configuration.yaml`. It should already be there by default unless you removed it.

Template entities will by default update as soon as any of the referenced data in the template updates. Template entities will by default update as soon as any of the referenced data in the template updates.
