It would be great to be able to just select an attribute to add to an entity card / history chart etc, rather than having to make a new template sensor
I hope you donāt mind that Iāve removed the term āLovelaceā from the title, as that term isnāt used anymore
Haha apologies - I donāt mind at all Iām conditionedā¦

Maybe the answer is for all attributes to become āvirtualā entities, so that whatever API calls allow lists of entities to be returned would also allow the attribute to be requested instead of the state
So a motion sensor with a luminance entity might be
sensor.bedroom_motion%luminance.
Or something similar.
I agreeā¦ more easy access to attribute values in dashboards, automations etc would be very nice!
