Sense Energy Monitor: Electricity Usage Monitor To Track Energy Usage in Real Time.
The Sense monitor is a small but powerful computer installed in your home’s electrical panel by a licensed electrician. It analyzes changes in current and voltage over one million times per second to measure power consumption across your entire home. Over time, Sense’s machine learning algorithms identify unique signatures in the power use of individual devices within your home and match them against a growing database of appliances and home electronics. Once devices are detected, you can see when they turn on or off, how efficient they are, and what’s going on at home when you can’t be there. These detection capabilities continue to grow as more users install Sense in their homes and more device models become available. All this information is made available through our free iOS and Android apps, so you can get energy insights, home awareness, and peace-of-mind in real time from anywhere in the world.
Built by the same team that brought speech recognition technology to market, our founding team pioneered the commercialization and widespread adoption of speech-recognition technology.
Sense can be a great solution for monitoring the security of your rental property or vacation home, and checking in on elderly loved ones. As long as Wi-Fi available, Sense can help you unobtrusively keep an eye on things from afar.
Sense is rigorously safety tested and approved for use in 120 volt US homes by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and Intertek (ETL).
Compatibility notes:
Sense works with split-phase 120v residential electrical panels. Sense doesn’t currently support three-phase or parallel feed installations. Electrical panels with busbars must have enough clearance for sensor clamps with dimensions of 3 6/16″H x 2″W x 12/16″D, and an inside diameter of 1″.
Connects to your home’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network

Awesome Device But Struggles To Accurately Identify Most Household Appliances Original Review (Dec. 10. 2018 update below):Cool device and very accurate at detecting overall energy usage but individual device detection is hit & miss at best. I have had it for 3 months and it helps me monitor my overall home electricity usage in real time. It does an ok job detecting some appliances but a poor job detecting others (more on that below).The Good:-It is 99.5% accurate for what my utility company is measuring and billing me for, so it is very…
Only detect 20% of household load After 4 months the Sense monitor has detected about 20% of my household load and that’s been true for about 3 months now. Nothing new is being learned. This is helpfull in determining our household energy use, but far from as useful as I’d like. I have taken to using a Kill-a-Watt meter and a clamp-on ammeter to measure the devices that Sense is not detecting.If one is comfortable working inside a breaker box the device is simple to install. Connect to power, hang the antenna…
