AC Energy Comparison analyzes air conditioner energy usage in your home compared to similar homes. Sense calculates your average AC energy usage per day (kWh) during the summer months and compares performance to other homes depending on the ‘Home Details’ you’ve entered in the Sense app, including: …

As of today, this Sense Labs project is no longer visible in the App/Web. Thanks for the feedback from everyone - you can find release notes here: [image] What's new in v40 (iOS/Android) App Release Notes Today, we’re releasing v40 to all monitors. This releas…

We have a geothermal water-to-air heat pump (Hydron Module), which has two compressors in one box and two separate air handlers (one upstairs, one down.) It has to be really hot to run the second compressor; I think it only turned on once this summer. We used the heat pump most of July, and only a …

How often are the comparisons updated? I noticed mine said my ac was under performing. It’s new so I raised an eyebrow and started looking into things. My house was listed at 1000 square feet, when in reality it’s 1500. I made the change, but the comparison was the same.

Hi @ivanrussell . During the summer AC season, AC Energy Comparison is updated every two weeks. However, now that the AC season is mostly over we have stopped updating the underlying data. So your summer 2020 AC usage (May- September) will be shown until it starts up again next year. We’re making som…

the AC Energy Comparison is not available for my home, since installing the SENSE monitor (and before) I felt like my AC’s were consuming way too much energy. I have been unable to find what an average draw is for a system of my size. I have a ~ 3,600 SF home in Hawaii, it has two conventional Spl…

thank you Kevin, your 18 Seer units are for sure more efficient. Looking at the Power meter specifically when the larger 5 ton unit is running it pulling 4100w, the smaller unit which is a 3 Ton (not 2.5 as stated above is 1650w running. I looked at a report from July 2020 (we are not running AC’s…

Sense have not been able to discover my two Lennox (CX20-060-230A01) 5 ton 20SER units after more than 2 years operation. My guess is that it can’t find them because it does not turn on with a sharp increase in consumption but instead comes on slowly, over several seconds. Since they have not been …

Hi there, @morten . [image] morten: My guess is that it can’t find them because it does not turn on with a sharp increase in consumption but instead comes on slowly, over several seconds. If you aren’t using Sense Solar (or other middle-port configurations), I might recommend taking a look at…

Mine shows unavailable too… I understand from previous posts that I need a full summers worth of data for it to become available… I am fine with that… So even though the UI shows that the feature is unavailable is it actually “available and in-use”, but the DATA is unavailable because it hasn’t g…

If your AC units are being detected and showing up in the device usage, the data is being collected. If not, there’s nothing to compare.
