## Getting insights into water usage
{% details "TODO" %}
Since Home Assistant added energy management, tracking the usage of water🚰
has been requested quite a bit. It was [raised again during this month of WTH](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-do-we-have-energy-dashboard-and-no-water-dashboard/467168),
and with over 370 votes, it is clearly wanted a lot.

This release adds the ability to monitor your water usage in the energy dashboard!
{% enddetails %}
Although water is not strictly “energy”, it is still a [valuable resource](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_resources)
to track. It is often tightly coupled with energy usage (like gas) when using
hot water, and the gained insight can help you reduce your ecological footprint
by using less water 🌎.
This has been long time requested, and was also really popular in this month's
WTH (over 350 votes!): [WTH do we have Energy dashboard and no Water dashboard?](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-do-we-have-energy-dashboard-and-no-water-dashboard/467168)

The request for being able to track water usage in Home Assistant comes up
quite a lot. This release add support for doing so!
Some integrations, like [Flo](/integrations/flo), [Flume](/integrations/flume), and
[HomeWizard Energy](/integrations/homewizard), have been adjusted to support
tracking water. Furthermore, you can create your own using templates, MQTT,
or ESPHome (requires [ESPHome version 2022.10.1](https://www.esphome.io/changelog/2022.10.0.html#release-2022-10-1-october-26) or newer).

The following integrations now support reporting water usage out of the box:
- [Flo](/integrations/flo)
- [Flume](/integrations/flume)
- [HomeWizard Energy](/integrations/homewizard)
- [P1 Monitor](/integrations/p1_monitor)
- [Toon](/integrations/toon)
Furthermore, you can of course create your own using templates, MQTT, or
ESPHome (requires [ESPHome version 2022.10.1](https://www.esphome.io/changelog/2022.10.0.html#release-2022-10-1-october-26) or newer).
[Check out the documentation](/docs/energy/water) for the hardware options
available to track your water usage or how to build your own water usage
sensors.
