Integration for Home Automation

In addition to the usage info mentioned above, I think it would be useful to make Sense’s device states and on/off events available to a platform like Home Assistant. This information could then be used to drive any kind of automation spanning the Home Assistant ecosystem (with more than 1,000 integrations), making otherwise ordinary electrical devices participants in a broader home automation system.

As a simple example, such an integration would allow me to use text-to-speech to make an announcement on my Sonos system when, say, my dryer turns off. This would take only a few lines in Home Assistant, but would be extremely useful.

The notifications within the Sense app are good, but there’s a world of possibility out there if this data could be made accessible more broadly.
