Smart home integration

[shultzy.mchaggis]

I’m new and this may have been mentioned. I have 50+ items in my home that all report their status (on or off) with some even reporting electrical usage back to smart things as well as google home. Any word on when we could integrate this into sense? I would think this data would help identify devices

For devices that provide power info, you might be able to use something like SenseLink to feed data back to Sense.

Emulated Kasa integration Brings SenseLink to HomeAssistant

In Home Assistant 0.115 (beta version released today, final coming in 10 days) there is a new integration called “emulated_kasa” that can be used to expose devices to Sense using the SenseLink library. Some smart switches or lights will already report power usage to HomeAssistant, well now you can have HA report those to Sense to show undetected devices. It’s also possible if you have a simple device with a consistent power usage to specify that. Docs are here: Emulated Kasa - Home Assistant

On/off data is far less useful.

That’s good info. I will check it out.
