CE Smart Plugs added?

[kevin1]

Here’s a thought on methodology to use one or two Roamer Sensecompatible smart plugs to best deploy smart plugs. Bottom line is that there is really only a big benefit to using smart plugs on devices that have a substantial swing in dynamic power usage AND also remain undetected by Sense. Devices that have minimal dynamic swing, but substantial Always On can be manually entered.

Sense + Smart Plug = Improved User Experience

3 notes on your question. Right now, the smart plugs that are compatible with Sense actually MEASURE the power/energy used by the device (albeit at far a far lower sampling frequency than the Sense inputs) and feed it back to the Sense monitor and mothership. So there’s no direct “learning” going on. When you move the smart plug to another device, it will just start measuring the next device plugged in. But that has real value in teaching you about the usage of each device. Based on my experie…
