Ngenic Sensor Platform for Home Assistant
This platform adds sensors for Ngenic Tune smart thermostat, Ngenic temperature sensors, and Ngenic Track nodes.
This is an inofficial Ngenic integration which relies on Ngenic Tune API which is offered as a free cloud service for Ngenic owners. It can currently report temperature, humidity, power and energy-consumption to Home Assistant.
Ngenic thermostat and all Ngenic sensors use a propriatory wireless protocol and requires an Ngenic Gateway (RF to Ethernet bridge):

Home Energy Management
If you have an Ngenic Track you may track your energy consumption with *Energy Management in Home Assistant.
There's one thing to consider: if your Ngenic Track is placed on the central electricity meter for your whole house then you should add the Ngenic energy sensor as a Grid consumption. However if your Track is placed on something else (such as specific energy meter only connected to your heat pump), you should instead add the Ngenic energy sensor as an Individual device.
