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.
