Yes, it’s possible but only for the device\_class thermostat with the capability target\_temperature.

But we want it for other devices too.

Great to see this was added to the WebApp, even though it looks a bit too verbose/cluttered IMO!

Suggestions::

- Omit units like Temperature/Humidity/Power" completely. The sensor is known, and seeing ON/W/°C/mbar is usually enough of a clue to know what the numbers mean. Or use “T/H/P” for common metrics
- Add “Last Alert” time to sensors that support it (x minutes ago)
- Remove battery indicator (al least if it’s OK)
- Allow users to select which fields should be displayed

And obviously all this WebApp goodness also needs to be ported to the mobile App as well…
