Sense just guesses everything wrong. I can strongly recommend Emporia energy, which has per circuit monitors.


That's a good tip, I've been really disappointed in our Sense's ability to detect anything correctly. It's detected 9 heating devices so far. I suspect that our variable speed heat pump is hard for it to figure out reliably.

I ordered the additional sensor that I'll use for the heat pump and one more circuit and see if it does any better, if not, the Emporia seems reasonably priced for as many sensors as it has.


I purchased an Emporia unit and installed last night. Pretty rad so far. Only wish a single unit supported more clamps. My panel has 30+ circuits so it's tempting to install a second Emporia unit :)
