The `ohmconnect` {% term integration %} will show you the current [OhmConnect](https://www.ohmconnect.com/) status for the given OhmConnect ID.

OhmConnect monitors real-time conditions on the electricity grid. When dirty and unsustainable power plants turn on, our users receive a notification to save energy. By saving energy at that time, California does not have to turn on additional power plants and California's energy authorities pay you for that.

## Configuration

You can find your OhmConnect ID on the [OhmConnect API settings page](https://login.ohmconnect.com/api/v2/settings). It's the string after the last `/` in the URL, e.g., for the URL `https://login.ohmconnect.com/verify-ohm-hour/AbCd1e` your ID is `AbCd1e`.

To enable the OhMConnect {% term integration %}, add the following lines to your {% term "`configuration.yaml`" %} file.
{% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: ohmconnect
    id: YOUR_OHMCONNECT_ID
```

{% configuration %}
