# Hilo

> Hilo is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 582 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 27, 2026.

Hilo is a community integration that connects Hilo devices to Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. It provides climate, light, sensor and switch entities, covering thermostat control with temperature readings, switches and dimmers exposed as lights, and sensors for the gateway and Hilo challenges. It also tracks the energy use of Hilo devices and offers an outdoor weather sensor. Options include generating energy meters, choosing the Hydro-Québec rate plan, setting the scan interval, and locking climate entities while a challenge is running. Appreciation and cooldown phases can be added in hours around challenge events. It is set up in the user interface, signing in through the Hilo website, and the README describes it as a beta that is not affiliated with Hilo or Hydro-Québec.

## Supports

- **Uses the vendor's cloud**: Needs an internet connection and an account with the vendor.

- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

### After setup

- **Generate energy meters**
- **Generate only total meters for each devices**
- **Hydro Quebec rate plan name**: Select 'rate d' or 'flex d'
- **Scan interval (seconds)**: Minimum: 60 seconds
- **Log request data and websocket messages**: Requires debug log level on both the integration and pyhilo
- **Lock climate entities during challenges**: Prevents any changes when a challenge is in progress
- **Track unknown power sources**: This is a round approximation calculated when we get a reading from the Smart Energy Meter
- **Appreciation phase (hours)**: Add an appreciation phase of X hours before the preheat phase. Hilo uses 3 hours for AM events, 2 for PM events, chose a value you would like to automatically add and adjust your automations accordingly.
