@leftyfb, I’m not a Sense, employee. Just a curious Sense customer with a couple of monitors. So I can’t speak on their behalf, but I can give the following pointers based on what I have seen publicly:
- I’m sure the decision to stop selling the standalone monitors was a tough business decision. The hardware business is challenging, especially when there are long term hard costs for the associated services (networking, cloud, storage) and no subscription. I think the Sense CEO does a good job outlining the other important point - getting designed into smart meters is the right approach for building the largest user base and having the most impact.
- The current list of smart meter partners and models is here. Realize that these are all next-generation smart meters, that have far superior capabilities to the first generation of smart meters.
- There is new solar support without a second CT. You probably missed the new detection features added this month. If you look closely, you’ll notice that a lot of the recent development has been to move the Sense-enabled meters to near-parity with standalone monitors:

As I understand it, the new smart plug recognition via the TP_Link Integration and the Hue Integration are included in the meter product as well.
