🔌 Real-Time Electricity and Solar Production Monitoring - Sense Energy Monitor with ETL/Intertek Safety Certification Review

Updated: Following my complaints, Sense added some Revain compatibility information but still does not disclose any compatibility information for their products. Critical compatibility criteria can only be found in the OEM's product support information. I found it the hard way. during installation and too late for Revain to return without escalation. My advice; 1. Don't buy until you've spent a few hours with Sense product support to ensure the unit will fit your home. OEM tech support is…

. The most important thing to understand is that you SHOULD NOT rely on the machine learning capabilities of this product. I didn't do any research when I bought this and I kind of regret it because there are tons of stories on the forums of people who have installed this over the years and never researching enough devices to give you a meaningful one To give idea of how to use them. What you can count on is the sensor readings, the most you can have an extra circuit of. I'll say I think it's…

I work in power generation and wanted to control all loads and production in my pool house. After a month of installation I'm still running loads like my pool pump twice a day which are identifiable as 'other' meaning you can't track those loads until the identification in terms of is complete. There are no load self-identification tools, and I have seen Sense misidentify a similar load on my panel and group its power consumption with another device. Not ideal if you're trying to get accurate…

I'm really impressed with the Sense Solar. First, the speed of the device, it refreshes several times per second and offers amazing detail. You can even see a tiny lightbulb on the gauge right away. Secondly, the device recognizes devices quite well after a while. Finding an identified light source, fridge or fan is sometimes very easy, but due to the instantaneous resolution on the meter, it's fairly easy. It takes quite a while for appliances to show up, and most of the time it just shows…

I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I like it. It is very accurate in terms of power measurement. It draws a powered iPad when plugged in, about 6 watts. When I turn on the light, the magnification is very close to what I would expect. The solar readings are almost identical to those displayed on one of my dual inverters and range from 3-6 watts (up to 10,000) and this is compared to the display on the inverters which is constantly changing. Some people complain about device…

This is the best energy monitor I have ever bought. I bought TED and still have it installed, Sense does what it promises. I live in Jamaica and in the first month my electric bill went from J$76,500 to J$43,000. I do this by simply shutting down my electricity consumers when my solar array isn't producing enough excess electricity. I also set timers on my pumps to run from 9am to 3pm when I'm getting the most out of my installed solar system. I use a net billing system which means I sell my…

I like the end result but the process was timely. Installation was easy, that's not the problem. The initial verification process can take some time and can be confusing. At first it works, then an error appears and the readings are lost. My advice to anyone interested is to be patient. Let it take its course and wait for them to contact you with any questions that arise during the process. They don't have a phone number to call but they will contact you via email. In my case, I was this…

As an engineer I was quite happy with Sense Solar. This gives me a good insight into how much solar energy I generate compared to the energy I use, which is the main reason for my purchase. First, the Sense box and solar power kit came in very nice, sturdy packaging. It may have printed too much but no complaints as it is a good installation reference. Installation was relatively easy. I don't recommend or advise anyone to do this, but I installed it myself and did the entire installation…
