The `flume` sensor will show you the current [flume](https://portal.flumewater.com) status for the given Device ID.
Flume monitors the real-time status of your home water meter. Allowing the end-user to detect small leaks, gain real-time information on household water consumption, set water goals and budgets, and receive push notifications when suspicious water activities occur.
## Configuration
You can find your Client ID and Client Secret under "API Access" on the [settings page](https://portal.flumewater.com/#settings).
To add `Flume` to your installation, go to **Configuration** >> **Integrations** in the UI, click the button with `+` sign and from the list of integrations select **Flume**.
