Hi Folks.
I currently have a Restful sensor configured to get the status of my 2x Hue dimmer switches.
The only downside to this is that HA is then making 2x separate requests.
Is there any way I can combine these into one request? I thought my querying just /sensors rather than sensors/2 & /sensors/4?
