Custom template sensor

The custom template sensor can be used with custom scripts to analyze and enhance the information that is collected by other sensors. For example, if additional data or information is required, of a Model Object, than discovered by an existing TADDM sensor, then a custom template sensor can be used to fetch the extra data and set it against the discovered model object. The existing model object, discovered by an existing TADDM sensor, is given as an input to the custom template sensor which can enrich it further. Through the custom template sensor, the user can execute additional commands on the target and save the result in appropriate attributes of the existing discovered result object. Users can also define extended attributes on the model object type and then use custom template sensor to set the extended data in the input object. User can also use the result of another sensor and analyze or construct any different model objects.
