I’ve been diving deep into Home Assistant for a while now, and one thing I’ve really come to appreciate is its automation capabilities. However, as I’ve started to scale up my setup, I’ve found myself creating a lot of helper entities to make things work smoothly. For instance, I recently built a smart multi-room AC system that allows me to set different temperatures for various areas of my home, like the bedroom or kitchen.
One thing I’ve been thinking about is whether I can create a single sensor that acts as a hub for all these temperature settings. Imagine a sensor named “Kitchen Temperatures” with attributes like “Away Temp” or “Present Temp,” where each attribute is an input_number. This way, I could modify these values without having to tweak my automations every time. I’ve seen some examples using templates or customization, but I haven’t quite found what I’m looking for yet.
If anyone has experience with this kind of setup or knows of a way to achieve it, I’d love to hear your thoughts! It would be a game-changer for managing my home’s climate efficiently. Thanks to the amazing community for all the inspiration and support—here’s to more innovative solutions!
