been going great for the past couple of years… now I’m seeing gaps the past few days… there were more than the ones in this pic, but they caught up / filled in, but some of these are not going away… anyone else having issues? [2020-10-28-17-32-home.sense.com]

As a new user, I am happy to hear that you’ve gone multiple years without this behavior… It is really great to hear that! And to answer your question…yes, I am experiencing the same issues that you are… My hope is that the data will be filled in after the fix… But if not, I guess I’ll just need …

Hey Mike, yes, I’ve had a great experience with Sense… I’ve had my Sense since Dec 2018 and its proven more reliable than my SunPower solar monitor, and even my utility meter… I’ve had minor issues with data collection, and my home has too many LEDs to allow a larger number of detected devices, but…

[image] HiTechRedNeck: I found out that my hand-me-down xmas tree was responsible for 1/3-1/2 of my Dec electric bill, and that was based on running it for 4hrs a day M-F, and 6hrs on weekends… that tree was burning over 250W… my new tree, burns a whopping 12W… anyway, welcome to the club, and e…

Thanks @HiTechRedNeck Great background information! I am also a residential solar customer… As a result, I am not sure I am going to truly save any money with Sense… My panels are currently forecasted to produce 110% of my historic consumption… So unless my consumption significantly increases, …

something you must remember about the different sources, is HOW they watch the power use… I will explain: Sense: monitors and polls power use nearly instantly… sample rates are many times each minute… Utility: Southern CA Edison (in my case), poll the meter every 15min, average the 4x 15min to…

Thanks for the detailed response @HiTechRedNeck . Yes, I understand what you are saying… I understand that products/devices (all identical) will vary power consumption, and that solar has variables that will make production inconsistent, and that how power companies poll data will cause some “noise…

@MikeekiM : I, too, now have solar panels which over-produce on most sunny days; it’s drawing near to the end of the first full year, and even in the relatively northern area I’m in it is averaging out with to at least match the consumption this November. However: I started using Sense prior to gett…

@MikeekiM , Wanted to give you a couple of realistic answers on a couple of your questions. Sense Accuracy - For me Sense is very accurate, and should be for most people unless they have data dropouts or inaccurate meter readings (more on that in a bit). Sense should be within 1% - very specific…

Hi. I’m fairly new to sense and installed my monitor just under a week ago. If I should post this as a new topic, please let me know! I figured it would make more sense to piggyback on a topic that shows the same problems I’m seeing, but like I said, it’s my first day :wink: I’ve noticed a lot of …

Look at that same stretch in the Phone app with the 11:30AM positioned in the measurement bar (the vertical gray bar on the right that is associates with the measurement o the top). The goal would be to see if the data drops to zero there or even goes negative.
