WTH Is it not possible to group sensors based on class and area?

Say I have several plant sensors that give me the temperature. I can group these sensors and get an average per room.

But occasionally I will move a plant to another room. Now I have to update every group that contained this sensor.

Wouldn’t it be just easier to be able to group all sensors based on their class and their device area — and update them once the area of the device changes?

The Area card seems to do that, but it doesn’t seem to be able to be replicated elsewhere.

Be careful what you wish for… my Kitchen area card says its 45°F (7.2°C) because of the fridge and freezer temps. :smile: The card doesn’t have any mechanism to exclude entities. The only option is to remove the area designation from those entities… but that would break other things.

It’s not a fully UI solution, but you can use Labels for things like this. They’re easy to change and can be used in a template sensor to generate data for the group.
