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. + Graphic showing energy flowing from the home to individual devices. _Disclaimer: Some links on this page are affiliate links._
