Learning and smart detection

[jean]

Hi,

I recently bought the sense monitor and was wondering if I buy a compatible smart plug, can it be used to plug a device in it and have the sense detect the device and after it’s detected move the smart plug to another device to make it detected also and so on… ?

Thank you
Jean

What happens if I plug a device into my smart plug that Sense has already detected? F…

The short answer is that no, the smart plug needs a persistent connection to your device in order to be recognized.
