  • Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here?
    At Sense we make a home energy monitor that provides real-time appliance-level monitoring using machine learning. Hardware is indeed hard as everyone said it would be! https://sense.com. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • How many amps can I get?
    If you want to know exactly how much you are using, when, and approximately how much each device is pulling there are sensors that can help. Eg Https://sense.com/ There are a few others. If you are interested I recommend some googling and read reviews. Source: 9 months ago
  • Ask HN: Home Energy Monitor Recommendations?
    Hi all, Wondering if you have any other recommendations or thoughts on the below. Use case: I have a solar array and want to track in one spot all the energy produced, energy imported, energy exported, and where energy is being used. Both of the following seem to do what I want with some nuances. I am looking at: 1) Sense [0], which identifies energy use patterns of different devices to determine what devices are... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Any suggestions what is happening to my electric bill??
    Https://sense.com/ try this guy out. I got one and it seems to work fairly well. I have a light fixture that’s wildly inefficient. Source: 10 months ago
  • my grandmother's power usage is excessive, (300/mo). she lives in a small house and does not have a hidden weed operation. help!??!
    I don’t see it mentioned here, but if you really wanted to know what is using power in her whole house, you could get a “Sense” energy monitor. It gets installed by you inside the main breaker panel and lets you see/learns what uses power and allows you to pinpoint large wasters. A little pricey up front, but could easily pay for itself.

  • Google & Alliant Smart Hours Program
    ...agree 100% I've been thinking about getting a Sense (tm) device to monitor power usage. 300 bucks seems a little steep. Maybe Alliant could provide rental devices for customers? https://sense.com/. Source: 12 months ago
  • Web access of my Sense?
    Hello, you can now find the Web App in the footer of https://sense.com/. We recommend bookmarking the web app home.sense.com into your toolbar if you regularly use it. Alternatively, you can use the Omnibox (URL/search bar) to go straight to the web app home.sense.com for easy access. This will save you some clicks, regardless. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Tracking users via the electrical grid?
    It can get a lot more granular than that. For example, they can tell you have an electric car and if so, you could probably tell what type of electric car by monitoring your electric use. If you look at the homeowner product called sense, that’s essentially how it works. Now imagine this being done with all of this resources of the federal government and they can probably learn quite a bit. https://sense.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Web access of my Sense?
    I just went to check on Sense through my browser and I don't see the option in the upper right of the main sense.com screen. Did they remove this recently? This was the way I usually accessed Sense, so hoping it's just operator error... Source: about 1 year ago
  • How to investigate sudden, unexplained spike in electricity usage
    You also could look into product like Sense to help find it. I have not used one, but I would like to so I can understand more on how I live and how it affects the cost. Source: about 1 year ago
  • New homeowner. Electric bill 637$. Why?
    Also consider using an energy monitor similar to sense: https://sense.com to monitor your electric usage within your household. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Energy monitoring for motors? (blender, shredder, etc)
    What about a whole home energy monitor like sense? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023)
    Sense | Multiple Roles | Full-time | Boston, MA / Hybrid / Remote (US or Canada) | https://sense.com/ Sense’s mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by making homes smart and efficient. We make an electricity monitor that will soon be built into the next generation of smart electricity meters. Our technology gives consumers insight into their electricity usage: what appliances are using power, how much the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Help understanding CMP options to create a long term plan to reduce bill.
    Install a sense device in your panel. Https://sense.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • It’s been colder this past week (30s F) and my Mitsubishi has been drawing lots of power, > 5kW. Gotta say I’m surprised because the AC it replaced was around 3.5kW. Is this pretty normal for a heat pump (48K BTU)?
    It's called Sense, and it's great (although the kit is a little pricey)! https://sense.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Insanity high electric ⚡ bill
    Https://sense.com/ - needs to be installed by electrician. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Electric Bill - How to fight it?
    You're probably not in the mood to spend more money but I use Sense, a home energy monitor. It wasn't too hard to hook up and I can see in real-time how much energy the big energy hogs in my home are using. It also lets you plug in your energy costs so you can see that (e.g.) operating your heat pump is currently costing X cents per hour. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How do you save on SDGE bill?
    If you have access to your meter, you could make it a smart one and see what your current consumption is at any point in time. I'm using Sense for that: https://sense.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Anyone else’s power bill double with zero explanation?
    Parallel. It sits inside your electrical panel and has nothing to do with NSP. It gets its readings from smart clamp meters on the feed, and if desired, individual circuits. Check out sense.com for a description of how it works. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Are my energy bills high?
    I would get a Sense installed and see what's using so much electricity. Source: over 1 year ago
