Finding Electric Vehicles - FAIL

[kevin1]

Two quick answers:

1. Just like smartplug “devices”, you can tell Sense which native detections are part of circuit instrumented for Direct Circuit Monitoring, to avoid double counting.
2. Sense hasn’t offered any roadmap for additional monitoring. But it is possible to use a second Sense monitor for additional circuit channels, though you need something like Home Assistant watching over both monitors to combine the data. Here’s what that looks like.

Dedicated Circuit Monitoring (DCM) if you already have Sense Solar?

Several Sense Solar users, including @andy, have raised the question fo how they might take advantage of DCM, since their second monitor port is already occupied with solar monitoring. I have done a little experimenting and been able to test an approach for Solar users, by using a second Sense monitor for its DCM capacity. I currently have 2 x 240V devices monitored by my new Sense, a Tesla charger and sub panel for all my floor heating coils. A few caveats upfront: Pricey - you have to buy a…
