Fetch MAC address from OpenWRT sensor attributes

Configuration Frontend
1

I have setup openwrt via luci/ubus integration. It gives me entities for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Wifi radio for each of my AP’s.
Each of those entities have attributes with “MAC SIGNAL”.
I wanna

  1. get those attributes,
  2. match the MAC addresses to specific names of the devices
  3. list them in a list format with their individual signal strength. (maybe custom auto entities)

I have successfully used this to get the attributes

  - type: custom:auto-entities
    filter:
      template: |-
        {% set SENSOR = 'sensor.router_wireless_phy1_ap1_clients' -%}
        {%- for attr in states[SENSOR].attributes|select('search',':') -%}
          {{
            {
              'type': 'attribute',
              'entity': SENSOR,
              'attribute': attr,
              'name': attr
            }
          }},
        {%- endfor %}
    card:
      type: entities

But now i wanna match the mac address and replace it with device names.
Does anyone has an idea?
