Hey there - welcome to the Sense community. I’m glad to hear installation was easy on your end.
Sense power consumption is relatively low at around ~4W, so it won’t be detected/show up as a bubble. Typically, things that operate under ~40W are ideal for smart plugs.
Sense only uses about 4W, so it’s a pretty measly draw. That number does get calculated as part of your Always On however.
I’ve linked more information on smart plugs we’re compatible with and additional integrations from our new user document below. It’s a great resource as you’re getting started.
Connected devices and integrations
Connected devices (400A split-service, generators, solar, and dedicated circuit monitoring) and integrations (smart plugs, Philips Hue, Alexa) can immediately improve the Sense experience for new users. Check the links below for more information.
From Solar Insights to Solar Savings : Find out how Sense Solar can help you understand your solar efficiency and ultimately, your savings.
How to use Sense with Philips Hue : Philips Hue smart bulbs can integrate directly with Sense, giving you more insight and control over your Hue bulbs directly from the Sense app. Learn more about the integration here .
Using Sense with Smart Plugs : Our smart plug integration allows for instant detection for devices. I currently use several Kasa HS-300’s to monitor my entertainment center and office. With the smart plugs we integrate with, you can name the device plugged into each individual outlet and that information (and data) will be visible within Sense.
