Sense - New Power Monitoring Product

[smashim (PETER VORENKAMP)]

Has anyone been following this new power monitoring product called SENSE? Looks like an interesting device that may have smartthings developers drooling for integration to me.

Seems very overpriced compared to Chai energy. Granted Chai needs to tied directly into the utility company’s website for data validation.

I’ll stick with my method, though they do present it well in the app!

Grafana and InfluxDB is awesome, and all local so no worries about thingspeak or someone else loosing my stuff. I used Highcharts and thingspeak primarily before as well. [image] [image]

Pre-order = vaporware.

Until you can actually install it, it’s all just marketing. There’s no telling what actual features will be delivered. Or when.

Curb is a very similar device that exists now and has SmartThings integration if you’re interested in that kind of data.

Meet Curb: Energy monitoring for all of the devices in your house

Hello Smart Things Community, I’d like to introduce you to Curb, the whole home intelligence energy monitor. With just one device you can track the power consumption of up to 16 different circuits all in real time. We’ve been working with the SmartThings team for a few months and we are wrapping up our integration as we launch the product in the coming weeks. I wanted to reach out to the larger SmartThings community to both introduce our new product as well as help identify any additional features that we should prioritize for our integration with the SmartThings system. Below is a quick rundown of our existing feature set and I’d love to answer any specific questions and generate a conversation about what we can do together with greater integration. With so many smart home solution cont…

I just receive my Sense and hooked it up yesterday. It’s learning now. Anxious to see the results and would love to have this integrated into SmartThings.

I am curious to hear your findings.

Anyone have opinions on this? I just got an electric vehicle and my electrical usage doubled, so I need to now determine why. I know others have used Nucleus here as well.

I used the Eagle Energy Gateway, it allows me to monitor the energy usage of my ELR and Model X. Also intergrates with SmartThings and its fairly cheap

I got a sense and it seems pretty good (although it takes a while to learn devices).

Has, can, anyone try and integrate this into ST?

Would like to hear comments from anyone using any of these systems. Do you actually get any benefit from them? Do they integrate (locally) with SmartThings?

I use it with SmartThings (via IFTTT) to indicate when the Dryer has finished. Works well for this.

We use a similar product In our home at India called Ohm Assistant. It helps us to monitor the power consumption of our home devices in real-time on our smartphone. The best feature that we found about this is that it alerts us when there is an electric surge.
