# Rainforest RAVEn

> Rainforest RAVEn is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 57 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Rainforest RAVEn is a built-in integration that reads smart meter data from a RAVEn device locally. It adds sensors for energy price, power demand, signal strength, total energy delivered and total energy received. Setup happens in the UI, where a device is chosen and the meter MAC addresses are entered. Home Assistant can also spot the device on the network and offer to add it. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
