This Homebridge plugin presents two sensors: one dedicated to monitoring current power consumption within your household, and another tracking the power return for those equipped with solar panels. This plugin uses data from your [Wi-Fi P1 meter](https://www.homewizard.com/). Gain real-time insights into your energy usage and optimize your home's efficiency effortlessly. These sensor allows you to add automations to your Apple Home based on power consumption or power return.

## Installation

To install the *Homebridge Homewizard Power Consumption* plugin follow these steps:

- Follow the instructions on the [Homebridge Wiki](https://homebridge.io/how-to-install-homebridge) to install Node.js and Homebridge;

- Install the *Homebridge Homewizard Power Consumption* plugin through Homebridge Config UI X or manually;

  ```

  $ sudo npm -g i homebridge-homewizard-power-consumption

  ```

- Edit config.json and add the *HomewizardPowerConsumption* platform. E.g;

    ```

    {

        "platform": "HomewizardPowerConsumption",

        "ip": "<>",

        "pollInterval": 60,

        "hidePowerConsumptionDevice": false,

        "hidePowerReturnDevice": false

    }

    ```

## Caveats

- Each sensor is represented as a Lux (light) sensor. The Lux level directly reflects the power consumption in watts. For example, if your home is consuming 2000 watts of power, the sensor will display 2000 Lux.

- Not every household has solar panels, by adding `"hidePowerReturnDevice": false` to the plugins config you can disable the power return sensor.
