Good questions @matthew_lasorsa. I spoke with @MaheshAtSense this morning, who provided some clarity into your main questions.
-
Dedicated Circuit Monitoring does not contribute directly to the user’s device detection. That is, if there are say, 5 devices on the DCM circuit, those 5 devices do not necessarily get better models. Since we don’t subtract the signal, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the house will be quieter.
However, we are actively using DCM to improve our modeling machine learning algorithms. -
Signals are not subtracted. To avoid duplication, if the user merges an existing device with DCM, then we will display the DCM wattage, instead of the model they merged.
