#Fire Automation on _any_ temperature change (no defined thresholds)

I have what I hope is a simple scenario. I would like to create an automation that fires any time a particular sensor (state_class: measurement, device_class: temperature) changes. For the triggers that I have seen so far, they all have thresholds that need to be specified. I do not want a threshold as dependent on the type of heating/cooling specified, I would like to do conditions in the automation to then direct what type of action to occur.

Ideally, I would be able to also use some type of logic to do rounding (if I can at least get a trigger, I could do a template to do this I'm sure) as well so that decimal temperature changes do not impact the automation path...but this is a cherry on top. I would prefer to stay away from polling as well, which is what it currently is designed around...

Thoughts?

Use a state trigger with no from: or to:

Then decide in the condition or action what do about it
