Integrate your Sense meter information into Home Assistant.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) |
What people report
Sense energy monitors work through the Sense cloud API. A 2024.11 update broke setup for some users, including a second geothermal Sense unit.
