## Devices with power (W) sensors
Some smart devices, such as air conditioning, boilers, and others, may provide a power sensor, measured in Watts. You can use the [Integration (Riemann sum integral) integration](/integrations/integration/#energy) to calculate the energy your device is using. You can then use the energy sensor in the Energy Dashboard, as individual devices.
