My Sense detected my “AC” first after about 48 hours. Looking at the Bubbles and the text, along with the power meter, there is always a lingering voltage of 400 or so watts for 3-5 minutes after Sense says my AC turned off. See below. It always shows in the dreaded “Other” Bubble. Is it reasonabl…

It is very normal for the fan to continue to run after the compressor has stopped. This is by design and serves many purposes but is primarily on high seer units to ensure all the heat/cool is in the house and not lingering in the duct work. If you set ecobee to fan-on for 15 minutes per hour then…

Though I can see where it would show if set to turn on 15 minutes per hour, I’m not seeing a way to set it turn it on for 15 minutes an hour. :thinking: [image]

Go to your thermostat page, then go to the settings → System → Fan → Fan Runtime

Found it. Was about to delete, lol. Thanks.

Not sure about your exact setup so my experience might be different. My air handlers are part of my furnaces and on a separate (120V) circuit from my AC compressors (240V). Sense has detected both compressors and both air handlers over time, but with caveats: Even though Sense eventually detected …

My air compressor AND my air handler are 240, so I am unable to put either on a KASA unit. How did you get your 240 compressor on a KASA sensor?

[image] Beachcomber: How did you get your 240 compressor on a KASA sensor? I think he implied that it was just the air handler. There’s no 240 Kasa devices unless you used 1 of 2 (that I know of) z-wave monitors with HA emulation.

Actually the Kasa plugs support 240v. Someone on this forum, quite a while back, hacked 2 of them together to monitor a 240v appliance. Obviously that’s against code and not something that Sense can condone, but it’s technically possible. EDIT: Here it is: Ok to splice in two Kasa plugs to each pol…

@waterboysh If this was my community forums I would have removed that post for potentially causing someones house to burn down. In 2/3 of the pictures it appears to be 120 as there’s only a hot, neutral and ground. However in the picture with two boxes there’s two grounds and what appear to be a …

My air handlers/furnaces run off separate dedicated plugged in 120V circuits. I can see 4 separate components using a smart plug. air handler igniter ignition blower Always On power supplying the furnace control board and associated Ecobee thermostat.
