That’s a good number to have in such a short period of time.
Most of the desired detections your looking for I believe will come fairly quickly, within the first month.
Two of them are maybe. The gas boiler will probably have the igniter detected but the kitchen fan I doubt will be detected.
Of course, every home is different but Sense has not been able to detect any of my many fans. We have four ceiling fans, air handler, convention oven fan, two bathroom fans and two garage circulation fans that are not on the list yet.
An update now that new device detection has flatlined.
Time period using Sense: 4.5 months
Total reliable devices detected - 22
These are:
- Dehumidifier
- Sump Pump
- Garage Door Opener
4 to 8. Kitchen Appliances - Instant Pot, Microwave, Blender, Convection Oven, Toaster, - Downstairs AC (not sure if it’s just the compressor or also the air handler)
- Upstairs A/C (not sure if it’s just the compressor or also the air handler)
- Dryer
12 to 14 3 x refrigerators/freezers (haven’t spent the time to figure out which is which but I’m convinced they have been reliably detected)
15 Range Hood Fan
16 My master bath ventilation fan (it’s the largest of the 4 I have, the other 3 haven’t been detected)
17 Kitchen sink disposal unit
18 & 19 2 of my 3 TVs - Garage door opener
- Light of a refrigerator
- Utility room lights (closest to the electrical panel)
So 22 in total in 4.5 months.
Unreliably detected another 9 devices:
- Rice Cooker (there are some runs not picked up by Sense but there are some other identified mystery Heat devices that may need to be merged into this device).
2 Dish Washer (lots of missed runs, again, I need to see if any of my other identified mystery Heat devices needs to be merged with this). - Vacuum cleaner (identified as 3 different devices I presume because we plug it into different sockets each time; i’m not sure if all uses are captured in one of the 3 identified Vacuum cleaners).
- There are 4 other identified Heat devices that i haven’t been able to track down, I suspect some or all of them need to be merged into the Rice Cooker and Dish Washer.
I also have some key devices not yet detected
a) my EV charger (not used consistently),
b) washing machine
c) treadmill (it’s only just getting cold here so i’ll only start using it this week)
d) because it caught one of my bathroom vent fans, I’m hoping to find the other 3
e) projector
f) gas fired water heater boiler feeder pump / baseboard heating feeder pumps
g) furnace / stove / fireplace igniters
h) because it caught 2 of my TVs, I’m hoping to catch the 3rd TV.
New Sense user with 2 weeks of data. So far 5 items are detected don’t know if that is good or bad. Most of the kitchen appliances such as coffee maker, microwave oven are on GFCI receptacles and are not detected yet. Does the GFCI receptacle mask the discovery of devices?
GFCI should have no effect.
