Multi-value templates

I’ve got a fair number of sensors that really belong as part of a set. Temperature and humidity for example. The problem with listing each of them out is the groups are becoming kind of long and hard to view especially on a mobile or tablet.

43%20AM

So I was looking at using a template sensor, which lets me pair them up so I could have for example:

31%20PM

That’s not bad actually! However this is the dealbreaker:
42%20PM

I’d really like to get some decent graphs just with multiple entities.

Anyone know have a good solution for this? I’m thinking something like the template sensor, except you could list entities and the graph would generate based on those values.

Am I really the only one who wants to basically use an array to track multiple values in the UI?

Yea, what is needed is the ability to set attributes and not just state in sensor templates. One use case I have for this is for energy measuring sensors, It would make sense to have the state as ‘on’ or ‘off’, then have attributes for say voltage, power, power daily, power_total, etc… This would really clean up my UI a lot more than any general change to the frontend!
