# Plugwise

> Plugwise is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 899 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Plugwise is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects to Plugwise Smile gateways over the local network. It adds climate control, a domestic hot water heater, and entities for boiler, cooling and electricity readings from devices such as Adam, Smile-T and P1. Selects cover modes and schedules such as gateway mode, regulation mode and thermostat schedule, while numbers adjust setpoints and temperature offset. A reboot button and switches for cooling, comfort mode, lock and relay are also provided. Home Assistant can discover the gateway on the network, and setup is done in the UI. New devices appear automatically, devices that are gone are removed, and connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration.
