Sense Energy Monitor

We track calories, footsteps, miles per gallon, and frequent flyer miles — why not our energy use? 

Sense was born from the simple idea that people should know what’s happening in their homes. Energy efficiency and home automation begin with robust data, so we built Sense to provide people with information about their home energy use in the simplest, most practical way possible. 

 The Sense monitor analyzes changes in current and voltage one million times per second, giving you insights into your power consumption with unprecedented accuracy. It connects to your home's Wi-Fi network and then reports real-time and historical energy use to our web interface or your iOS/Android device, so you can monitor your efficiency and home activity from anywhere. 

 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. 

As devices are detected and revealed inside the app, you can name and categorize them, set custom notifications for when they turn on or off, analyze how efficient they are, and see what's going on at home when you aren't there. These detection capabilities continue to grow as more users install Sense in their homes and more device models become available, which means your Sense monitor will just keep recognizing more and more devices over the months and years to come! 

 Built by the same team that brought speech recognition technology to market, the founding team pioneered the commercialization and widespread adoption of speech-recognition technology. Now we’re putting all our energy into helping you better understand yours.
