So for months now, since my replacement Sense monitor, I’ve been experiencing a challenge of not only multiple detected devices reporting more than actual usage (HVAC specifically) but also false detections of devices turning on when reality is its a yet unidentified device in “other” that is active…

[Screenshot_20180830-214400_Sense] Dear @AZAaron . I’ll get back to you when I don’t have 6 fluctuating bubbles to chase. It’s hard to add-up 4digit numbers in my head. Your BFF, MachoDrone P.S. I think it may have something to do with the Always On bubble that’s rather a static number that’s u…

[Screenshot_20180831-055632_Gallery] Good Morning, Mr. @AZAaron . I’m back. Providing the bubbles fluctuates as I inspect each bubble’s power, I don’t have the issue you describe, as calculated. Perhaps imma not understanding the problem? Can you provide pictures?

Thanks @MachoDrone for taking the time :blush: You’re definitely understanding but in your example at least, you’re not experiencing the same thing. I’m getting bubbles that add up to at times over a thousand watts or more above total usage and Sense doesn’t adjust them. I’ll try to post screen sh…

So here’s an example. With these screen shots, my undetected TV, two celing fans, a 210w light, and my washer are all on and should be in “Other” as they have yet not been detected. My pool pump is not on. [Screenshot_20180831-064158_Sense] [Screenshot_20180831-064128_Sense] [Screenshot_20180831-0…

My HVAC is the worst. When both units are running, combined, they report in the area of 2000 watts too high. “other” dissappears and numbers are crazy!

In this exact situation I shared. I think my washer running falsely triggered the pool pump device but AC is on in reality but using about 700 watts less than reported. Been doing that all summer without correcting and I’ve even deleted it for re-detection.

Here’s a before and after of both ac units running. The over report of the devices is greater than 1500 watts… Before: [Screenshot_20180831-081928_Sense] [Screenshot_20180831-081937_Sense] During: [Screenshot_20180831-082124_Sense] [Screenshot_20180831-082114_Sense]

@AZAron, I’m seeing something similar, though I have an added complication. I have two AC condenser units, but Sense started seeing a third, AC 3, back in April, after a number of months of getting things fairly right between my two AC condensers between Sept 17 and April 18. What has happened ove…

@kevin1 are you saying that even though you witness a high reporting bubble, that exporting the data of that time frame reflects lower values and greater accuracy? I mean aside from your whole AC situation that’s odd in itself. I did have more accurate AC devices earlier in the year but that was a…

@kevin1 this appears to be very similar to my issue here https://community.sense.com/t/insight-on-this/3321?u=mrtimo with inter-device theft by Sense.
