### Get alerted when power usage spikes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use this automation to keep an eye on sudden peaks in your electricity usage. When the Powerfox sensor reports more than 4 kW for two minutes, Home Assistant sends a notification so you can react quickly (for example by switching off large loads).

Powerfox only publishes currency fields when a tariffs are configured in their app. Set the tariff inside the Powerfox app, then wait for the next report; the Home Assistant sensors will populate once the API exposes those fields.
