I think it’s important that everyone read @2uskiwis’s linked post that explains his original problem and solution.
At any rate, he solved the main problem having to do with the fact that the panel in his picture includes a feed to a subpanel, so he had to move his CT clamps into the panel with the meter. Kudos to @2uskiwis for that work, I would be equally freaked out about opening that panel and doing work. Are there non-conducting gloves that one is supposed wear for that kind of work?
At any rate, the issue in this thread is the subsumation of “Other” into “Motor 1” aka “air handler 1.” This is indeed a seeming oddity.
Just to confirm, after you moved the CT clamps, did you end up doing a full reset or are you still hoping to avoid that? I’d contact Sense to see if they’re going to recommend that you do that since you moved the clamps over. I’m not certain about this, but I think that 240 volt equipment may not be affected by the clamps switching over but 120 volt will be. I’d hesitate to condemn the product until doing a full reset. Regarding being hesitant about a recurrence of the wifi issue, think of it this way, if your unit is faulty, better to detect it now than years from now after the warranty runs out.
You said “should be able to differentiate between my 2 units” in a reply. What did you mean by that? It’s not clear to me.
Note: The OP has a real technical issue. I don’t think it’s helped by people coming on this thread in the technical support forum and repeating their general product complaints. In fact, it makes it 10x as hard to actually follow and focus on the real technical issues that the OP is having. Note to OP: To be fair, you did seem to bring in the topic of whether you had the right to expect more from Sense. Such feelings are understandable but it does seem to cause people to come out of the woodwork with their anti-Sense agendas and doesn’t help you solve your real technical issues. Just some friendly advice and you don’t have to follow it.
Back to the original issue: @2uskiwis, do you know what the original 1291 watt “Other” really is? I had assumed it was other regular stuff in the house but do you have a reason to think it is one of your other air handlers or compressors?
