| ## Setting up for energy dashboard | |||
| If you want to use this power sensors with the new [energy integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/08/04/home-energy-management/), you have to create a energy sensor which utilizes the power of the powercalc sensor. This can be done with the [Riemann integration integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/integration/), which calculates the energy and since release 2021.8 this integration can natively be used in the energy dashboard. An example configuration, which you have to copy into your `configuration.yaml`, can be seen below: | |||

We assume you have a powercalc sensor with entity_id sensor.kingkong_power

Didn't change it word by word, but meaning should be right
