The Half Wattage issue

[RyanAtSense]

@ben

While I realize that the “Now” tab isn’t direct from the device and is routed through the cloud, I don’t think anyone here has ever seen the bottom right corner number be wrong. You mentioned that when you plugged your 1500w heater in, you did see the that number adjust the amount you would expect. So let s assume that that number is correct.

It would indeed be very, very weird for those live readings to be incorrect, barring an installation issue like an open CT or Sense being mistakenly installed on a subpanel. I can’t think of any time I’ve ever seen that.

If your a year into it and still experiencing this then it sounds like
I need to prepare myself to be in for the long haul.

I wouldn’t necessarily assume this. Detection can vary dramatically across homes for various reasons. You’re off to a pretty good start already.

@samwooly1

When they got “combined” the new one disappeared
completely. I don’t care for this feature. I think it should allow us to review and
accept or decline the combination. Sense may feel correct about it but we could
help to confirm it.

The only devices that should be getting renamed/autocombined are ones you have not renamed or marked as a “guess.”
