## Sensor
The Plex sensor platform monitors activity on a given Plex Media Server. The sensor state provides the a count of users currently watching media from the Plex server. Clicking the sensor shows who is watching what media.
The activity sensor provides a count of users currently watching media from the Plex server. Clicking the sensor shows details for the active users and media streams.
The library sensors show a count of items in each library. Depending on the library contents, the sensor will show extra detail in its attributes. For example, a library sensor for TV shows will represent the total number of episodes in the library and its attributes will also report the number of shows and seasons it contains.

The library sensors are disabled by default, but can be enabled via the Plex integration page.
