It exposes several sensors/diagnostics regarding the Xtend and Xtreme. ## Why this integration exists -The Intergas Xtend system exposes operational data through a local API on the unit. This integration polls that API directly and exposes the most relevant system values in Home Assistant as entities. +The [HA_connection_Xtend](https://github.com/DSchoutsen/HA_connection_Xtend) works with yaml files for RESTful sensors and sensor-templates and had no specific devices available in Home Asssistant showing all the sensors and diagnostics. +So I made an HACS integration doing practically the same but less complicated. ## Important: dedicated Wi‑Fi requirement
