Two thoughts…
-
I used to be fairly OCD over watching everything my Sense did and tried to provide immediate feedback every time I saw a mis-identification, even though I know enough about machine learning to know that this will be a long learning curve.
-
Sense folks do answer support emails and via forum. The general advice I have seen is to NOT reset everything, and to continue to let things play out without deleting devices, while providing Sense feedback when a well-understood device is off. One interesting thing I have found is that some of my detected devices are “seasonal”. My AC units appear as one set of devices mid-summer, but a different set in the fall and spring.
Sense vs. Ecobee - #11 by kevin1
There’s a lot to learn about disaggregation of electrical usage and Sense keeps progressing, but facial recognition was an 8-10 year learning curve with machine learning, so I now take solace in a slightly altered version of one of Dan Fogelberg’s songs…
Sense has these moments
All steady and strong
Device recognition rumbles
The next thing I know
Sense is guessing and lost
And all recognition crumbles
The meanings get lost
And the teachings get tossed
And you don’t know what
It’s going to do next
You wait for support
But without a retort
Some kind of message
Comes through to you
Some kind of message comes through
And it says to you. . .
Feedback when you can
Reset when you have to
Do what you must
That’s a part of the plan
Await that detection
Without feeling rejection
And one day we’ll all understand …
Sung to the tune of…
