We bought a brand new house in September and I have integrated it with multiple smart devices including Sense which has been in since February. I am also a Controls Engineer so this is like playtime. The first thing I noticed was the mini fridge I was using was using as much energy as my kitchen fridge. I moved all my beer to the kitchen and unplugged it. I also put a an appliance smart outlet on my water cooler and shut it off during the Weekdays when the house is unoccupied. Enabling sleep on various PC’s and lower power mode on my NAS has also lowered energy usage. All in all I think Sense is a great device having a real time energy monitor. I get excited when it does find devices.
