Attribute Support Help

[tet024]

Hello,

For the solar_power_entity I have an Attribute within the entity how can i configure that please. Basically for all the required entities I have one Entity then they are all sub attributes to that entity.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Etienne

You can convert attributes of entities to their own entities using template sensors. In this way you can create a new sensor entity that is based on one of the attributes of another entity.

Here's an example of such a sensor created in yaml specification:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      this_is_my_new_entity:
        friendly_name: 'My beautiful entity'
        unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
        value_template: >-
          {{ state_attr("climate.my_old_entity", "the_name_of_the_attribute") }}

Pls try to find more help on template sensors in the documentation of Home Assistant or on the forum of Home Assistant.
