**PowerCalc** brings energy monitoring to devices that normally *don’t support it*.

**PowerCalc** estimates energy consumption for devices that can't measure it themselves, like lights, fans and media players, with no extra hardware. Instead of measuring power directly, it **accurately estimates consumption** using smart models based on real measurements, all inside Home Assistant.

On top of power and energy sensors, PowerCalc also creates **cost sensors** to track spending, **utility meters** to break usage down by day, week or month, and **group sensors** to combine devices, rooms or your whole home into a single total.

# About Powercalc
22

3-
**Powercalc** is a custom component for Home Assistant to estimate the power consumption (as virtual meters) of lights, fans, smart speakers and other devices, which don't have a built-in power meter. The consumption of light entities is calculated using different strategies to estimate the power usage by looking at brightness, hue/saturation and color temperature. For other entities a generic calculation can be applied, based on the attributes relevant for that entity.
