!!! note

Powercalc will only allow a single instance of this group in your installation

## Auto mode

The `Tracked/Untracked` group can be configured in `auto` mode.
This will try to automatically add all power sensors to the tracked group from you HA instance.
- All enabled power sensors with a `device_class` of `power` will be added to the tracked group.
- Excluding powercalc groups and the `main_power_sensor` if specified.

Whenever a new power sensor is added or removed to your HA instance, the tracked group will update accordingly.

If you prefer more granular control, you can disable auto mode and manually manage the sensors in the tracked group.
During configuration, the list of sensors will initially match the auto mode setup, but you’ll be able to modify it as needed.

!!! note

In manual mode, you must update the group manually whenever power sensors are added or removed from your system.
