The `min_max` sensor platform consumes the state from other sensors to determine the minimum, maximum, and the mean of the collected states. The sensor will always show you the lowest/highest value which was received from all monitored sensors. If you have spikes in your values, it's recommended to filter/equalize your values with a [statistics sensor](/components/sensor.statistics/) first.
The `min_max` sensor platform consumes the state from other sensors to determine the minimum, maximum, latest (last) and the mean of the collected states. The sensor will always show you the lowest/highest/latest value which was received from all monitored sensors. If you have spikes in your values, it's recommended to filter/equalize your values with a [statistics sensor](/components/sensor.statistics/) first.

This sensor is an alternative to the [template sensor](/components/sensor.template/)'s `value_template:` to get the average of multiple sensors.
