Integrate your [Sense](https://sense.com) meter information into Home Assistant.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

- Binary Sensor
- Sensor

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

## Sensors

Sensors are added for both usage and production:

- Active sensors: Updated every 60 seconds.
  - Usage: Current active power usage in Watts.
  - Production: Current active power production in Watts.
- Trend sensors: Data provided for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly scales. Updated every 5 minutes.
  - Usage: Energy usage in kWh.
  - Production: Energy production in kWh.
  - To Grid: Energy exported to the grid in kWh.
  - From Grid: Energy imported from the grid in kWh.
  - Net Production: Measures total solar production against usage.
  - Net Production Percentage: Net production as a percentage value.
  - Solar Powered Percentage: Percentage of power used directly from solar.

Binary sensors are created for each of the devices detected by your Sense monitor to show their power state.
