Sense Energy Monitor

What Is the Sense Energy Monitor?

The Sense Energy Monitor tracks energy usage, listing each appliance separately while collecting data on your home’s energy output throughout the day.

Throughout the day, the monitor will let you know if your appliances are using energy efficiently. It even gives you accolades on your home energy conservation habits with customizable messages like: “Nice, you use 30% less heat than similar homes.”

The monitor connects to the homeowner’s main breakers in their electric panel and records the performance of devices millions of times per second. The four-step installation process is as easy as positioning the Sense monitor in your electric panel, downloading the app, connecting to Wi-Fi, then letting the magic begin.
