## Changing the precision of a sensor
|
||||
|
||||
Got a sensor that has too many decimals in its numeric value for your use case?
|
||||
Would you like it to be rounded to fewer decimals or maybe even a
|
||||
nice round number?
|
||||
|
||||
Just ~~create a template sensor~~ change its precision directly from the UI!

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
|
||||
and not that user friendly-either.
|
||||
|
||||
This new setting makes it easier. It is a true entity setting, which means that
|
||||
changing the precision will actually affect the entity state. It applies to
|
||||
your dashboard and everything that uses the entity, including automations
|
||||
and recorded history.

But wait, there is more sensor goodness in this release.
|

|
||||
You can now create sensor groups! To add one, go to Settings -> Device & Services
|
||||
-> Helpers tab -> Create helper -> Group -> Sensor group.
