@bayesianlogic.1,
You’re right. If you can know what your are using, and when, you can do effective power management. Have you tried using the python API that Michael also referenced ? If you want realtime access to power consumption and production it works just fine:
GitHub - scottbonline/sense: Sense Energy Monitor API.
If you want to dig through historic data, you can do a little scraping. Every bar graph on the web app is easily navigable and scrapeable vis selenium or rselenium,
Our data is definitely available to us, along with a little of Sense’s special sauce. Just a question of whether we have the skills to access.
