New to Homey!  
I’ve been searching everywhere to figure out how to get entities from a device into a Dashboard?

I have a bunch of Shelly Uni devices that measure temperatures on underfloor heating distributors and geothermal heating, and I want to get the temperature readings into a dashboard to quickly get an overview of how everything is doing.

When adding a device, there doesn’t seem to be a dropdown or anything where I can choose the entity I want to get from a device… (in my case, I want the temperature sensors connected to Shelly Uni).

How do I do this?

Some options:

If you have multiple devices showing a temperature, then you can add each device to the dashboard via the devices widget. You’ll need to set the device’s status indicator to display the temperature:

If you want to display multiple sensor values of a single device, then you can use the [Enhanced Device Widget](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/ady.enhanced_device_widget/Enhanced-Device-Widget/) app:

If you want to combine sensor values of multiple devices in one dashboard widget, the you first need to create a virtual device that contains/combines the sensors (like temperature readings) of devices you want. Next use that virtual device as a basis for the earlier mentioned Enhanced Device Widget:

Also you can use the [DataVista](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.erikvl87.datavista/DataVista/) app to add the individual temperature values, status of the heating etc. via DataVista widgets:
