## Getting started

For Homebridge to communicate with your Energy Sockets, it is required to enable the "Local API" setting from within the HomeWizard [Energy App](https://apps.apple.com/app/homewizard-energy/id1492427207) for each Energy Socket you want to expose to Apple HomeKit. It is also adviced to assign fixed/static IP addresses to each Energy Socket in your network to improve reliability.
