<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code>template</code> platform supports sensors which breaks out <code>state_attributes</code> from other entities.</p>
<p>To enable Template sensors in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">sensor</span>:

</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>sensors</strong> array (<em>Required</em>): List of your sensors.
<ul>
<li><strong>friendly_name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Name to use in the Frontend.</li>
<li><strong>unit_of_measurement</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.</li>
<li><strong>value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/topics/templating/">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>In this section you find some real life examples of how to use this sensor.</p>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="change-the-unit-of-measurment" href="#change-the-unit-of-measurment"></a> Change the unit of measurment</h3>
<p>With a template sensor its easy to convert given values into others if the unit of measurement dont fit your needs.</p>
