I added the Solar CT’s to use for detecting the Pool and Hot Water heater.
NOW, I just ordered Solar…being installed in a few weeks….what’s the best thing to do with Sense. As I understand it’s best to drop the pool/Water heater as described above and put on the Solar entry to the panel.
But the panel is getting replaced/upgraded to a higher amp service. Will the other discovered device signatures still apply, or will the new wiring be enough to not be recognizable/reliable ?
For things like panel replacements or additions/configuration changes, I believe this primarily will depend on if your devices are still located on the same “leg” of the panel, as that plays into the detection of device models.
On your second question - what should you do with your Flex Sensors after you add solar ? You should put them on your new solar feed and hope that your pool and hot water heater devices are eventually detected, Why ? Without the solar CTs , your Sense will show net usage for your house, not Total Consumption. Plus Sense has all kinds of added features to help you understand your solar production. That’s a higher priority based on my experience.
ps: If you really, really want to monitor the pool and hot water heater, you can add a second Sense monitor with added Flex Sensor CTs like I did (for my EV charging and floor heating circuit), but those can’t be viewed from the same account. I use other means to blend the data.
