Sense Team and ALL,

Can anything be done to detect my pool pumps?

It’s been well over a year and my pool pumps have still not been detected!

Yes they are variable speed and so I well. Understand when it is In low Power mode it not Being detected or measured properly…

My issue Is that every single day tt switches into full power mode and runs for several hours before it turns off and then starts up again the next morning in low power mode…

Aside from the schedule I have also used it manually many times on and Aside from the schedule I have also used it manually many times on and off at full speed and still no detection.

I’ve been on and off the forum and i’ve been mentioning this From time.

Looking forward to any suggestions or updates please.

Variable speed motors are almost never detected by Sense.

Most people use an add on CT to monitor them through DCM.

There is a new upgraded version of the Wiser version of the Sense monitor (with load control) that can integrate with some Square D panels using relays. Though I have yet to see anyone using them yet.

One thing to try - look at the behavior of your pool pump in the phone/tablet app Power Meter (not the web app). See if it is labeling the on and off transitions of your pool pump with tagged transition values. Tagging doesn’t guarantee that Sense will detect, but if Sense isn’t tagging or is only tagging on and not off, or if the values are very different, detection is unlikely and you’ll have a better idea of why.
