We’ve got a big, highly anticipated update for you: Power Meter for the Sense Web App! This has been a long time coming and it’s hard to exaggerate just how difficult it was. Now you data junkies can dedicate a computer screen just to your Power Meter or even project it on your wall if you really need to see your data writ large. I’m sure the family will just love what you’ve done with the home cinema. But for everyone, this is a great addition that ups your already unprecedented insight into your home energy.
As you’d expect, the Power Meter on the web app functions similarly to the mobile app, with a couple notable differences:
Its bigger! This one might be obvious, but it’s part of the reason many users have been waiting for it. Bigger means it’s even better suited for deeper analysis.
We’ve added some handy navigation shortcuts. There are some tabs above the Power Meter that are zoom-level shortcuts for specific time segments of 15 minutes, hour, day, week, and month. You can zoom by scrolling, or by using these shortcuts. You can also click and drag to pan back or forward in time, and click the “NOW” button in the top right of the meter window to shortcut back to the present/live view.
You might notice that some features are missing from this build of the Power Meter, such as the color banding between time segments and the wattage change annotations. Don’t fret, as we’re planning on adding these (and more!) in the future. We just wanted to get this to you as soon as possible in highly usable form.

Using Chrome…when I click the vertical menu icons (usage, meter, devices, etc.) the URL changes in the address bar, but the view doesn’t change. If I F5/refresh the page then the icons do work…for a while.
Yes, that is correct. Power Meter is only visible for the whole home at this point. I can’t offer a timeline of when it will be incorporated on the Devices page, but hopefully in the near future.
I would like to see the same power and device tags appear on the web app power meter as we get with the mobile app. This would make it much easier to correlate events on the time line with their respective signature on the power meter.
Also, I think you guys are doing a great job with the interface. Very intuitive and the presentation is not overly busy.
I realize your is displaying a solar overlay. For me, it would be extremely helpful to display the two main phases and or the dedicated monitors. Currently to try and identify devices, I need once screen on My Account/Meter
I realize this is overwhelming, I am just trying to find a real-time method of finding all the unknown devices found. Currently I am deploying my Kasa Smart Plug KP115 to suspected devices, as well as monitoring my recently acquired Dedicated Circuit Add-On-Sensors.
The way I look at it, if I could see what phase the waveform shares, most likely, I have divided my search by two.Another helpful tool would be the ability to place items side by side on a time line. The download feature groups everything into 1 hour segments at the smallest. I think I asked someone in another section if there was a way to download the notification log so that it could be displayed in a better format.
But for everyone, this is a great addition that ups your already unprecedented insight into your home energy.
