Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to create some entities to monitor my hardware.
Ideally I would like to create a platform called gpu and assign sensors as attributes to each entity.
something like this:
entity_id: gpu.name_1
Then add attributes from sensors i have imported into HA.
As gpu.name_1.attributes.temperature i would like to assign the value of sensor.gpu_1_temp that i have already imported in home assistant.
I hope I’m making sense…
Is there some way to work this thing out?
That’s not the domain, it’s the platform.
Domain is “hue”,"'mqtt", “spotify”, … i.e. the integration.
Platform is “sensor”, “switch”, “light”, …
But no, there is no way to create a new platform without digging inside HA code.
Not that it makes much sense besides cosmetics, tbh.
Right, platform. I’ll edit it, thank you.
The platform was an aesthetic request indeed, i wouldn’t mind working with sensor platform.
But could i add extra templatable attributes to a sensor at least?
edit:
Something like:
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
gpu_1:
value_template: '{{something here}}'
friendly_name: "name"
#and then add more stuff like:
temperature: "{{states.sensor.gpu_1_temp.state}}"
load: "{{states.sensor.gpu_1_load.state}}"
This way i could tidy up everything in my new custom sensor and call them by
{{states.sensor.gpu_1.attributes['load']}}
And perhaps add a unit of measurement into every attribute? 
Looks like that is the way, managed to create one 
Any clue on if/how i can add a unit of measurement to each attribute?
Unit of measurement only applies to values, not attributes.
got it!
