Sensor

The sensor integration is the one that reports things: temperatures, power usage, how full the bins are. Most integrations you install bring some along.

Home Assistant lets you set how many decimals a sensor shows, but only one sensor at a time, by opening its settings in the UI. That is fine for one. It is less fine when an integration hands you forty power sensors that all report six decimals.

Spook adds an action that sets the display precision on as many sensors as you like in a single call.

Devices & entities¶

Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.

Spook adds the following new actions to your Home Assistant instance:

Use cases¶

Some use cases for the enhancements Spook provides for this integration:

• Trim every sensor an integration added down to a sensible number of decimals in one action, instead of opening each one in the UI.

• Show more decimals on a sensor temporarily, for example while working out why a reading looks wrong, and set it back afterwards.
