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:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: template
sensors:
solar_angle:
value_template: {% raw %}'{{ states.sun.sun.attributes.elevation }}'{% endraw %}
friendly_name: 'Sun angle'
unit_of_measurement: 'degrees'
sunrise:
value_template: {% raw %}'{{ states.sun.sun.attributes.next_rising }}'{% endraw %}
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 to extract a value from the payload.
