+The `template` platform supports sensors which breaks out `state_attributes` from other entities.
+
+To enable Template sensors in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: template
+  sensors:
+    solar_angle:
+      value_template: '{{ states.sun.sun.attributes.elevation }}'
+      friendly_name: 'Sun angle'
+      unit_of_measurement: 'degrees'
+    sunrise:
+      value_template: '{{ states.sun.sun.attributes.next_rising }}'
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **sensors** array (*Required*): List of your sensors.
+  - **friendly_name** (*Optional*): Name to use in the Frontend.
+  - **unit_of_measurement** (*Optional*): Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.
+  - **value_template** (*Optional*): Defines a [template](/getting-started/templating/) to extract a value from the payload.
