The `min_max` sensor platform consumes the state from other sensors to determine the minimum, maximum, latest (last) and the mean of the collected states. The sensor will always show you the lowest/highest/latest value which was received from all monitored sensors. If you have spikes in your values, it's recommended to filter/equalize your values with a [statistics sensor](/components/sensor.statistics/) first.
|
|
|
|
This sensor is an alternative to the [template sensor](/components/sensor.template/)'s `value_template:` to get the average of multiple sensors.
|
|
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
```yaml
|
|
{{ ((float(states('sensor.kitchen_temperature')) +
|
|
float(states('sensor.living_room_temperature')) +
|
|
float(states('sensor.office_temperature'))) / 3) | round(2)
|
|
}}
|
|
```
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
|
|
Sensors with an unknown state will be ignored in the calculation. If the unit of measurement of the sensors differs, the `min_max` sensor will go to an error state where the value is `UNKNOWN` and unit of measurement is `ERR`.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the `min_max` sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: min_max
|
|
entity_ids:
|
|
- sensor.kitchen_temperature
|
|
- sensor.living_room_temperature
|
|
- sensor.office_temperature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|

|
|
