I have come to realize that it is tough to get others to help figure something out but here goes anyway. Let’s start with the basics. This item showed up as a TV yesterday. It isn’t a TV. It is using 220-ish watts. About what a big screen draws. It is not any of these: Coffee pot, iron, space h…

I’ll say this once again. Sense likely “found” your smart TV via NDI, while it was already on the smart plug. That would mean Sense is double counting your usage through the two different devices. The Unknown device won’t likely see an off detection when you turn off the smart plug because Sense doe…

can you post pictures of the wave form? that will help determine if it has a motor spike or a heater looking draw. Could be a refrigerator or freezer…hard to tell yet.

Here is it coming on at 9 AM, stayed completely flat till 10:06 AM. [IMG_3009.PNG] [IMG_3010.PNG]

are those images from the device’s info page of past usage? cuz if so, they’re prob not 100% right lol. esp since the device is still kinda new to Sense. I would scroll back through the actual meter usage at those times and look at the spike there and screen shot that instead; that’s a true view of …

I am a little confused. It came on at 9:20:38 AM. If I go to all usage at that time you can’t even see a blip, it is only 220 watts out of the thousand of kW I am using at that time (geothermal heating).

A Sense-detected Device Power Meter is always showing a guess. A good indication of that is a perfectly flat wattage plateau like you have in this device detection: 221W. That is a time-averaged usage that Sense has determined. The algorithm would be looking for an on/off signature and can sometim…

It was detected about 36 hours ago. Don’t understand the what stat question. Sense named it Samsung TV (it’s not, my Samsung TV is on a Kasa plug) Don’t understand this question either. This is the main power meter right now. [IMG_1BFEF66A1CAA-1]

See the last point in my previous post but to wrap your head around that consider an idealized single device of, say, 1000W that consists of TWO 500W heating elements that come on at different times … and more often than not together. What would you expect to see and how would you expect Sense to de…

If Sense decided it is a Samsung TV, then it probably established that via NDI. That would mean it used your Samsung smart TV networking traffic to correlate power usage with TV activity… More on NDI here. [image] How does Network Device Identification make Sense smarter? Network Devi…
