Integrate your Sense meter information into Home Assistant.

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

  • Binary Sensor
  • Sensor

Configuration

To add Sense to your installation, go to Configuration >> Integrations in the UI, click the button with + sign and from the list of integrations select Sense.

Alternatively, to enable this sensor in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sense:
  email: CLIENT_ID
  password: CLIENT_SECRET

{% configuration %} email: description: The email associated with your Sense account/application. required: true type: string password: description: The password for your Sense account/application. required: true type: string timeout: description: Seconds for timeout of API requests. required: false type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

Sensors are added for both usage and production with the following names:

  • Active Usage/Production: Current active power usage/production in Watts. Updated every 60 seconds.
  • Daily/Weekly/Monthly Usage/Production: Daily/Weekly/Monthly power usage/production in kWh. Updated every 5 minutes.

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