## Grouping sensors

But wait, there is more sensor goodness in this release. The
|
||||
[group helper](/integrations/group) now support sensors too!

- Add story
|
||||
- Spelling/grammar
|
||||
- Keep or move to other noteworthy?
|
||||
- Add sensor to group ([@gjohansson-ST] - [#83186]) ([group docs]) (new-platform) (noteworthy)
|
||||
Sensor groups can combine entities with a numeric state, like
|
||||
[sensors](/integrations/sensor), [number](/integrations/number),
|
||||
and [number helpers](/integrations/input_number) entities.

You can now create sensor groups! To add one, go to Settings -> Device & Services
|
||||
-> Helpers tab -> Create helper -> Group -> Sensor group.
|
||||
This feature is a revised, improved, and more logical version of the
|
||||
"Min/Max" integration / "Combine the state of several sensors" helper.
|
||||
It is likely we are going to replace those with this new sensor group
|
||||
in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
Sensor groups are able to combine sensor, number and number helpers entities.

|
||||
Compared to those previously mentioned methods, the sensor groups have the
|
||||
additional options to hide their member entities and the option to ignore
|
||||
sensors that currently are not in a numeric state (i.e., currently "unavailable"
|
||||
or "unknown").
