I wish there was weather (temperature) data overlay over the power usage graph more specifically for AC device. This will give an idea of how the device is performing.

As I use Wunderground for my weather collection, I would like to be able to grab a screen shot of the Usage page to overlay on my weather page.

You guys might be better off with something like an Ecobee thermostat for that usage - The Ecobee thermostat gives CSV dumps of outside temp, inside temps (multiple sensors), aggregated temp, on/off cycles. Here’s a sample of one view from the Ecobee web app. [04 AM]

The ecobee readouts are great, but the outside temp may be a little off, depending on where the readings are coming from. I’ve got a calibrated temp sensor outside in the shade I trust more :slight_smile: [Screenshot_2017-08-28-13-12-11]

If you have not put a thermometer on the intake vent and a vent output one might be surprised by the increase in cooling with cooler temperatures. Also if duct work is in the attic there is a difference on a sunny day or time of day. I would also like some type outdoor temperature or maybe coolin…

There was a story here on the news recently about “supercooling” your home. I suppose it works a little like watering your lawn - not much sense wasting a lot during the day when it evaporates, we typically water a few hours before dawn to give it a chance to soak in while the sun’s down and it’s st…

Sure. I do have ecobee for one of the HVAC system. The other one has OEM thermostat. In any case, having it with SENSE will bring together everything.

I’m a fan of “supercooling” but did not know that it had a moniker. Summertime has everyone at home during work hours and we have peak pricing hours so I try to keep the A/C off till at least 5:30PM so I supercool the house to 70F just before the 7AM higher pick cost. Hard to say how much it helpe…

It would be good to overlay weather data onto the charts showing energy use for the AC in order to learn more about how the weather affects energy consumption in the house. Even overall temperature would be interesting.

My suggestion would be to get something like an Awair which logs temperature/humidity/CO2/dust and use IFTTT to make triggers between that and the Sense (using Smart Plugs). The Awair (and other IoT options) log everything like the Sense so you can do waveform comparisons to your hearts content but …

It would simply only require some data integration on the backend to get the weather info from some free weather api using the zipcode and then add a dual axis line to the chart showing the temperature.

Several folks have done this using exported
data from Sense, Ecobees and online HDD/CDD data. Not that hard to do if you in Excel really want it.
