Question 1

Is it truly worth 300 bucks?

Accepted Answer

It is worth $300 to me because I'm an Engineer who lives in Arizona and have to feed an air conditioner with electricity for half the year. Because half my electric bill is dependent upon hourly usage totals, calculated each hour between 3 PM and 8 PM. The highest hourly total in a billing period times $16 makes every kW of Demand important. It may well save me more than $300 a year to be able to monitor my on peak usage. If you understand how your billing is done and what affects the numbers, yes, it can be well worth it. I love my Sense. Otherwise, it just gives you numbers that are meaningless. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then it probably is not worth $300 to you. I hope this helped.

Question 2

Can the app on my wife ios phone and my android phone be simultaneously logged in to the app?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for reaching out to us. You would create just a single account for your Sense monitor. As many users as you need can be logged in at any time, and you can be logged in on both iOS and Android. So both you and your wife would be able to log in using the same name and password. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Question 3

does it sum up power usage for a period of time, like every month?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Trends will show days, weeks, months, and year usage in kilowatt along with $$ spent. You can also break it down into each known device.

Question 4

does it monitor solar production

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We have a complete solar bundle that includes everything you need, or you can add solar later on with our solar upgrade kit for $50. Both of those are available right here on Amazon. How to determine: Incoming solar feed must connect directly to your main electrical panel, either through a breaker or a service-side tap. If solar is set up in a sub-panel, the incoming solar feed must be within 46 inches of the main panel. This will allow the current sensor cable to reach and connect to the Sense monitor in the main electrical panel. To have clean solar production readings, there should not be any other live circuits connected to the sub-panel. If you aren't sure if your setup will work, email support@sense.com.
