Just a quick question. Are hidden sensors logged? I
I have 11 wireless tag sensors that are posting as an http sensor, so I have 11 sensors that I “hide”.
I then have 11 x 3 (33 template sensors) that break out the temperature, battery and humidity.
Will I have 33 things logged, or 44?
Also, is the logger smart enough not to log a template sensor if the value doesn’t change. To explain, since it breaks out the json attributes of the 1 sensor, the only thing that might have changed is the temperature, but since 3 template sensors use the first sensor, will all 3 get updated and logged?
http_sensor: in attributes has temperature, humidity, batteryVolt
template 1: attributes.temperature
template 2: attributes.humidity
template 3: attributes.batteryVolt
So, if http_sensor updates, and the only thing that changes is temperature, do template 2 and template 3 also update (since it is keyed to http_sensor) and log a value, even though it’s templated value doesn’t change?
