Previously, this would generally need a template sensor and would have resulted
in having two entities, which is far from efficient from a resource perspective

This new setting makes it easier. It is a true entity setting, which means that

## Grouping sensors
{% details "TODO" %}
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.

Note: This is a temporary placeholder screenshot. Needs replacement.

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").
