About
Attribute as Sensor is an integration that turns an attribute of another entity into its own sensor. It is added as a helper in the UI and works locally. The source entity and the name are chosen when the helper is created, and the attribute can be picked from that entity. A value template can process the attribute, for example to divide a number by 100, using the attribute result as a variable. Icon, device class, state class and unit of measurement can be set, with a preset unit or a custom one. Most of these settings can be changed later through the options.
