Please follow the setup guide to setup your initial account. This will include a few sensors be default depending on your account.
These sensors calculate the lowest continuous or intermittent rates within a 24 hour period and turn on when these periods are active. If you are targeting an export meter, then the sensors will calculate the highest continuous or intermittent rates within a 24 hour period and turn on when these periods are active.
These sensors can then be used in automations to turn on/off devices that save you (and the planet) energy and money. You can go through this flow as many times as you need target rate sensors.
Please follow the setup guide to setup.
The core sensors have been designed to work with the energy dashboard. Please see the guide for instructions on how to set this up.
