Need help reading an XML

Configuration
1

I have a pool controller (Bayrol) at my home.
It is possible read out values via xml.

http://www.pm5-update.net/download_files/DE/PM5_PoolManager_XML_Data_Protocol_EN.pdf

For example, if I use the address:
192.168.1.8/cgi-bin/webgui.fcgi?xmlitem=34.4033
in my web browser, I get the following:

<pm5>
<item type="34" id="4033" label="T1" unit="°C" value="28.4"/>
</pm5>

Now how can I get this temperature as a sensor in my home assistant?`
Can someone help me please?

PS.
there would be alternatively also still the possibility via Modbus. However, I have unfortunately also so not managed.

But the XML variant would be better for me.

Danke für die Hilfe.
Hatte den Post zwar schon mal gesehen, aber habe es trotzdem nicht zusammen gebracht.

Habe es mir jetzt noch einmal genauer angesehen und habe es geschafft :star_struck:

Falls es jemanden Hilft. Ich habe es so geschafft…

Temperatur auslesen:

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    resource: http://192.168.1.8/cgi-bin/webgui.fcgi?xmlitem=34.4033
    name: PoolTEMP
    device_class: temperature
    value_template: '{{ value_json["pm5"]["item"]["@value"] }}'
