Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ended up returning mine. For me personally, the risk of waiting beyond the 30 day return period for it to detect more than the 5 devices that it did was too great. So I gave it about 25 days and then even contacted support to see if it was actually working properly to give it the benefit of the doubt. After those 25 days it had detected my water heater, maybe the furnace fan? maybe a fridge? a heating device that it didn't know what it was, etc. Support said give it more time. Again, $300 is a lot to gamble for potentially 5 devices. I would think that stuff like my hot tub that uses 5kw should show up some time within that 25 days. I do agree with other reviews where they mention that if you are only going to benefit from seeing the entire house's consumption then there are much cheaper devices that can do this and in the case of some it is free from the electric company as well. It is a shame because I see folks ask sense constantly about "training" it to create signatures for their own devices and sense gives the same line every time about how they can't do that because they have one big database instead of individual ones for each user's set of devices. Anyway the primary reason I came back in here to update this was because I ended up finding something better. Search google for IoTaWatt. For $250 you can get monitoring on your mains and 12 individuals circuits on average. For some circuits like Air Conditioning you may need to use up two of the 12 to effectively monitor it which will be explained on the website. But you can also merge some together like in the basement I have four circuits going through one of the twelve and I just merge them all and track the whole basement. So again on average you can come out to tracking about 12. Newer electrical codes have a lot of your individual big appliances on individual circuits so it is easier to track when you are watching at the circuit breaker level. The guy selling them provides great support and it was all very easy to set up. I am not affiliated with the company at all. Just wanted to provide an alternative.
