Log all attributes of entity?

Configuration

How do I log all the attributes of an entity? Specifically a device tracker. A life360 device tracker. Wanna make an automation that logs where I walk when I leave my house so I can see how far and stuff. And if I speeding. My motorcycle speedometer doesn’t work anymore and somehow they keep passing it for inspection. Just slightly curious how fast I’m going.

the only way to do that is to create a template sensor to extract the attributes you want from the entity.

so something like this for speed:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      life360_tracker_speed:
        friendly_name: Life360 Speed
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.life360_you', 'speed') }}"

and then create another one for another attribute.

Is there any way to log all attributes at once?
Or to automatically create template sensors for all attributes?

No, there is no way that I know of.

I just made a bunch of entities with templating like that. Idk that’s all u can really do.

Yea, I effectively settled on that too;

Would be nice if you could re-export an entities properties as a device with entities :eyes: :sparkles:
