Sense Energy Monitor Setup

The Sense energy monitor connects to Home Assistant through the built-in Sense integration using your Sense account username and password. It provides whole-home power and energy sensors plus sensors for the individual devices Sense has detected.

Before You Start

Confirm the following before you begin:

1. The Sense monitor is installed and set up in the Sense app.
2. You have the Sense account username and password available.
3. If multi-factor authentication is enabled on the account, you can receive the verification code.

Step 1: Add the Sense Integration

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings > Devices & Services.
2. If Sense was discovered automatically, select it under Discovered. Otherwise, select Add Integration and search for Sense.
3. Sign in with the Sense account credentials and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 2: Verify the Sensors

Once connected, the integration creates:

• active power usage and production sensors, updated every 60 seconds,
• trend sensors for energy usage, production, grid import and export, net production, and solar percentage, updated every 5 minutes, and
• binary sensors and power sensors for each device detected by the Sense monitor.
