I recently bought a new refrigerator. It is the exact same model as the original one, which sense detected.
Obviously, i’m writing here as it’s not detecting the new one yet. I guess it doesn’t matter its the same model etc. I was hoping it would resume where it left off.
Time to wait for it to be discovered !
I just realized I may have not posted in the right area
Are you asking a technical question like, “when should Sense discover the new one ?” Or “why didn’t it just pick up the new one ?”.
I guess i’m asking why it didn’t automatically notice or detect it since its the exact model
I cant recall how long it took before. Overall things take LONG time to discover IMHO (ive had sense for several years now), Will it possibly detect quicker perhaps as it is already “aware” of that pattern?
From what I know about Sense operation here:
if Sense doesn’t immediately see your new device as the old one, it is going to need to detect it as a new device. The problem is that some small differences in some on/off waveform characteristics can cause the new device to look sufficiently different. Even the same device turning on and off in different circumstances will have slight variations, plus Sense has to often resolve the on/off waveforms in the context of a lot of other on/off switching in the house so Sense has to do what is called fuzzy matching. Sometimes the learned pattern is fuzzy enough to include the slight changes in the new device, sometimes not.
Some of the things that are used in the fuzzy matching
