+# Home Assistant Jinja 2 Templating to announce some inside Temperatures
+
+
+This process is fairly simple. We don't need to iterate over arrays or anything like that unless we want to get complicated.
+
+For my use case and for the YouTube Video, I chose to read out the temperatures in 4 rooms:
+This table shows the rooms and the sensor ID's I chose, your smart home will differ.
+|  |  |  |
+|--|--|--|
+|Dining Room| sensor.temperature_dining| Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor

+|Office | sensor.temperature_office| Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor
+|Master Bedroom| sensor.master_bedroom_purifier_temperature| Temp and Humidity Sensor built into my XiaoMi Air Purifier
+
+You should choose the data points that matter the most to you.
+You can add humidity data if you want
+
+### The code to announce the states.
