That’s a somewhat open-ended question and maybe you could create a new thread with your specific expectations. What I am understanding is that you may need to (now) figure out whether the septic pump is actually working … given you just moved into the house and installed Sense?
Yes, in can be tricky given the other usage in the house to narrow down whether something is even switching on or off, let alone the actual energy consumption.
- Is the device on a separate circuit that you can identify? (a pump could be/should be depending upon local electrical code I believe).
- Can you identify when the device is operating through means other than Sense? e.g. Can you hear it?
- A pump usually has a distinct electrical signature and timing … if you know the make/model you may find it talked about (or similar) in the forum and even find a similar waveform posted. Try searching for “pump”.
To preempt what might be over enthusiastic expectations: new Sense users are often confused about the detection process and what it implies when you look at a detected waveform. There are a number of explanations of this on the forum.
