The `template` integration allows creating entities which derive their values from other data. This is done by specifying [templates](/docs/configuration/templating/) for properties of an entity, like the name or the state.
Sensors, binary (on/off) sensors, buttons, images, numbers, and selects are covered on this page. They can be configured using [UI](#configuration) or [YAML](#yaml-configuration) file.

Entities (sensors, binary sensors, buttons, images, numbers, and selections) are defined in your YAML configuration files under the `template:` key. You can define multiple configuration blocks as a list. Each block defines sensor/binary sensor/number/select entities and can contain optional update triggers.

If you want more control over when an entity updates, you can define triggers. Triggers follow the same format and work exactly the same as [triggers in automations][trigger-doc]. This feature is a great way to create entities based on webhook data ([example](#trigger-based-sensor-and-binary-sensor-storing-webhook-information)), or update entities based on a schedule.
