# Other devices

Configure additional compatible devices for monitoring and energy management.

## Other devices

## Other device types

### Configuration

The **Generic** device type is used when no dedicated device type matches your appliance. Other types such as Fridge, Freezer, Dish Washer, Wash Machine, and Cloth Dryer use the same form layout as Generic.

***

#### Energy consumed

Optional. Select one to three Home Assistant entities representing total energy consumption.

For a three-phase device, you can provide:

* one sensor for summed energy (leaving the rest empty) - it must be specified in the L1 field
* three sensors, each corresponding to one phase - L1, L2, L3.

For a single-phase device in a three-phase installation, only one field is used. It should correspond to the phase of the circuit the device is connected to.

***

#### Energy return

Optional. Select one to three Home Assistant entities representing energy exported from the device (if applicable).

The same L1 / L2 / L3 rules apply as for Energy consumed.

***

#### Power flow

Optional. Instantaneous power is configured in **Optional monitoring**. See [Optional monitoring](/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/optional-monitoring.md).

***

### Control

Control configuration is identical to other devices. See [Device control](/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/device/device-control.md).

**Important**

* Generic and similar device types have no subtype-specific behaviour beyond readings and control.
* All control logic relies on modes calculated by the Unwaste Robot and configured entities and States Map values.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.unwaste.energy/en/unwaste-robot-configuration/device/other-devices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
