It uses software that analyzes your home\u2019s electrical currents over 1 million times each second, giving you a real-time picture of your home\u2019s energy use, as well as identifying specific appliances by recognizing their unique electrical signature.<\/p>\n<p>From day one, Sense provides a real-time view of your overall energy use, with tips on how to save and be more efficient. It works in the background to automatically identify common devices that cycle on and off frequently. Over time, Sense gets smarter, telling you which devices are used, how often, and for how long. These details empower you to find ways to save energy, and money.<\/p>\n<p>These are some examples of how Sense helps you save:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right from the beginning, you\u2019ll be able to see how much energy your whole home consumes, helping you track and understand if you\u2019re using more energy than the average home in your area during peak and off-peak hours<\/li>\n<li>As Sense works in the background, you\u2019ll be able to tell Sense about your home and the devices you use most. Sense will immediately provide you with helpful insight into how much energy these common devices use, giving you tips to help you save from the start<\/li>\n<li>Many devices in your home consume energy even when not in use. Sense helps you identify these sources of energy waste, giving you insight into which should be replaced or upgraded<\/li>\n<li>In the summer, you might measure how much less electricity is used by fans than air conditioners and decide to incorporate attic or ceiling fans into your home\u2019s cooling system to save money, while staying comfortable<\/li>\n<li>You can learn what it costs to run the washing machine and decide to run a few full loads instead of several small ones. You can also use Sense to measure how washing in cold water saves electricity.
