I've been noticing the Sense Energy Monitor for a little over a year or 2, saw a $50 off special for fathers day & I finally went for it.
I installed it Saturday afternoon & it's pretty interesting! The power company notices always show "energy efficient neighbors" and then there's me.........at 1.5-2x their consumption. It's still new and devices are recognized slowly, but I'm noticing patterns on my powerline similar to what you'd see looking through an oscilloscope. It's sensitive enough that when I set my phone in its inductive charging coil I see "+10 watts", and when I remove it, "-10 watts", from the graph.
I watched a bunch of setup & review videos before buying it, and had to talk to my electrician friend who replaced my panel back in ~2011 to find out how to connect it, mine's not as easy as most, I thought it'd be going back.
