I have only had one vaccum cleaner since I got sense 2 months ago. But for some reason, Sense detected two vaccum cleaners. Why? How can it have two wave forms when it has only one motor? Or or is it registering the brush motor and suction motor seperately?
If your vacuum has two motors, it is likely detecting each one individually.
My 2 centsâŚ
All the time you are using the vacuum cleaner, are you using the same plug (outlet)??
If not you may be on the other leg of the power ( the other 110 line ) and Sense is picking up a different âsignatureâ for that leg. Hence the second vacuum. So far our vacuum has not been found. LaterâŚGerry

^ what @gcrawford.k8ger said.
Thatâd be my guess if this is a vac you move from outlet to outlet and not central vac. Detection happens on each leg of your panel individually, thus itâs possible to have duplicates across the legs of your panel. If you can very that detection is dependent on the outlet youâre plugged into (maybe name one of them âvacuum 1â and the other âvacuum 2â and track for a week or so) then you can always merge them.

I do have a central vac, but Sense hasnât discovered it in a year and a half.
Wow ! I guess the noisy devices really do a number on recognition. My central Vacuflo vacuum is one of my earliest and most solid detections. I can tell exactly how long the cleaning people spent vacuuming my house and can tell which days and hours they have worked via Sense.
Nice to know thatâŚof course I am the âcleaning peopleâ so I pretty much knew when it was being used anyways ((-

Weâre the cleaning people too, but we typically use a battery powered portable, but more on a localized basis. The cleaning people prefer the central vac because it is faster for whole-house cleaning, plus the battery just doesnât last that long in the portable.
