# Power Sensor Component

Configuration attribute reference for built-in power sensor models.
> Source: https://docs.viam.com/reference/components/power-sensor/


This section documents the configuration attributes for each built-in power sensor model.
Use these pages when you are writing a JSON configuration, debugging a config validation error, or looking up the default for a specific attribute.

- For how to add and configure a power sensor component on your machine, see [Power sensor](/hardware/common-components/add-a-power-sensor/).
- For the methods you call on a power sensor in code, see the [Power sensor API reference](/reference/apis/components/power-sensor/).
- For power sensor models outside the built-in set, search for `power sensor` in the [Viam registry](https://app.viam.com/registry). Each registry module's configuration is documented in its own README on its registry page.
