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.
Button, image, number, and select template entities are defined in your YAML configuration files 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.
_For old sensor/binary sensor configuration format, [see below](#legacy-binary-sensor-configuration-format)._
# 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.
# YAML configuration
## State-based template binary sensors, buttons, images, numbers, selects and sensors
Template entities will by default update as soon as any of the referenced data in the template updates.
