# Powerfox Local

> Powerfox Local is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 336 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Powerfox Local is a built-in integration that reads data from a Poweropti device over the local network. It adds sensors for energy return, energy usage, and energy usage split into high tariff and low tariff. Home Assistant can detect the device on the network and offer to add it, and setup is done in the UI with the device's API key and its hostname or IP address. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
