SENSE has been around for a little while, and recently partnered with Schneider Electric (Square D) to provide a monitoring system that allows you to see your electrical system and have data available through an app!

The Wiser Energy Monitor is an easy product to install, it really takes minutes for an electrician to put in. And once connected to a wifi network begins to scan the entire electrical system for devices and information. Over a few weeks you'll get messages from the system when it recognizes common loads like "coffee maker," "fridge," "AC," Furnace," etc.

Over a month or so you'll have enough historical data that you'll be able to see what the efficiencies and inefficiencies are in your system, and how your system compares to others like you.

Wiser also allows you to see what's happening in your electrical system in real time, so you're able to monitor when certain loads turn on and off through the app. This is helpful if you need to monitor the use of certain devices in your home.

You could monetize that device by temporarily installing it into customers breaker panel and then provide a week or month long consumption report. Also add in a panel inspection while your at it.

Exactly what I was looking for . My electricien was explaining to me now I understand completely.

[dougfaunt]

OK, so I've ordered one for my house, using the ElectricianU discount code. Thanks. It means I can do planning for the future. In the SF Bay area, several cities have banned gas installations in new build, for environmental reasons, and since I agree with the effort, I'll
be moving towards all-electric in my old house. But I need to knon what my usage is to know where to take this personally.
I'm just a homeowner, but also a marine engineer, so I'm learning a lot of technique, but I know the technical stuff.

I take care of my dad's rentals. It never fails that a tenant will hook up a power strip to a power strip and have all sorts of chargers and transformers for cable boxes, gaming stuff, etc. Every receptacle is a spider's nest. We started rewiring our units so there are two duplex receptacles per box and no more that 3 boxes per 2 pole 240 breaker. Yes, each box has 240 fed to it, but I swear, I have never had to go in the middle of the night to reset a breaker. And yes...every hole has a plug in it and some still have power strips.

Not a electrician but your videos help me out a ton. Thanks for always giving great advice. Keep it going!

I have had a Sense installed in my panel for a little over 4 years. One of the most annoying things about the device detection is that it if the device has multiple types of power loads it will often show up as two devices. Such as a Dehumidifier that has a compressor and a blower. It does great on total power usage of our home. You do have to manage it to get various lights and devices learned. I would really like to see them offer little wifi power plugs that can monitor a load directly or even more clamps for branch circuits and not rely on their machine learning that can take forever or never occur.

[kevindillon]

I’m going to need a bigger box if I keep watching Dustin’s videos.

Already planning on SPD, now it looks like I need another 2 pole for this awesome device...

[richardtillett]

I hard about it but now its cool to know its awesome is like monitoring your home current load . It's like a scanning thing. Its just awesome man and great video.

[rappquelle]

This seems really dope. I will now start my journey down the rabbit hole on this. Lol

[ryantrahan]

You should check the new panels Leviton are making for homes now. Smart breakers and real time usage in their app, been doing neighborhoods in Michigan with their new panels. Make the whole thing up at rough in too 🙌

[Bremend]

No one has posted a video of how to install this with solar (wiserempv), including this video. I'm amazed since this is the first time youtube has failed at not having a video on the topic

[srtstl]

That intro gets you the like this video deserves! 😂 love your videos!

[hoodedgood]

Hey this is kinda cool but a bit pricey... 300 for the basic vs 150 for the "Gen 2 Emporia Vue Smart Home Energy Monitor". Can you test this one too?

[cprfenom]

Doughnuts! We call them current transformers in the Uk. Nice video as always!

[ArkamasRoss]

Your panel gets sexier by the upgrade ⚡️🔥

[itzsmendoziny]

you should make a video of how to connect different ways solar panels in a residential.

[derpnerpwerp]

This is pretty cool. One thing I wonder about is data privacy though. Beyond just collecting data for advertising.. there is a hacking technique known as a side-channel attack. It basically is a broad term describing a method of breaching a target system by monitoring data on a "side-channel" such as monitoring RF output from a crt monitor or monitoring power usage of components (could be the computer itself, the monitor or even the keyboard). Whether or not such an attack would be feasible given the current draw over mains is debatable.. but I doubt it is completely impossible. It's a really cool hacking technique though imo.

[aerodicus]

This is the same thing the new “smart” meters are doing. The power company called us a few days after the install asking which appliances were running.

[jeffntexas]

Thanks for the video. I miss the old days where we only had smart asses...

[Darenator]

I'm with you on the wire size. If it was
Me I would have installed inline fuses on that wire.
