Unveiling The Watchdogs: Who Oversees The Electric Utility Giants?

Home energy monitors are designed to track home energy use and help manage it efficiently to save money. One of the first monitors to be available to homeowners, Sense, uses machine learning to identify individual appliances and their electricity usage.

Home energy monitor manufacturers

These devices track your home energy use every second and help you manage it efficiently to save money. According to the companies’ data, a typical customer will save between 7% and 10% on their energy bill in the year after installing a monitor, and some will save twice that. However, whether a given monitor is crucial to the savings is unclear.

Eyedro is another company that monitors business electricity and provides timely and actionable insights, allowing business owners and energy managers to monitor and track electricity across a range of applications.

Flex sensors (Rogowski coil) are also available from Eyedro. The company offers customizable energy monitoring for business and industrial applications with its current sensor series from 5A to 3000A.

Energy-saving claims of manufacturers

Sense, one of the first monitors to be available to homeowners, uses machine learning to identify individual appliances and their electricity usage. Sense’s monitors employ machine learning—and a million measurements per second—to try to identify individual appliances and their power draw, teasing out their unique “signatures” from your home’s main power feeds.

Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor – Emporia Energy is another device that tracks your home energy use every second and helps you manage it efficiently to save money.

A typical customer, according to the companies’ data, will save between 7% and 10% on their energy bill in the year after installing a monitor, and some will save twice that. What’s unclear is whether a given monitor is crucial to the savings. Some of the savings the monitor manufacturers gave as examples came from simply identifying and rectifying obvious inefficiencies, like finding the proverbial space heater or shutting off a light bulb that had been left on, unnoticed, in the attic.

Machine learning in energy monitoring

Machine learning is a powerful tool that can be used in energy monitoring to identify individual appliances and their electricity usage. Sense, one of the first monitors to be available to homeowners, uses machine learning to disaggregate energy draw and identify individual appliances and their electricity usage. The devices use machine learning, taking a million measurements per second of your home’s power usage in an effort to identify individual appliances and disaggregate their energy draw.

The Eyedro business electricity monitors provide an easy and affordable way to monitor and track electricity use at work – empowering businesses to take control of their energy use and costs. Eyedro provides timely and actionable insights, allowing business owners and energy managers to monitor and track electricity across a range of applications.

Emporia Vue 3 Home Energy Monitor is a device that tracks your home energy use every second and helps you manage it efficiently to save money. The app and product are great and setup is easy if you have some experience working in an electrical panel.

Machine learning can also be used to measure solar-panel output and monitor two sub-circuits, which is perfect for large loads, like HVAC systems and EV chargers or hard-to-detect variable motors, like heat pumps.

Disaggregating energy draw of individual appliances

Home energy monitors are designed to track your home energy use every second and help you manage it efficiently to save money. Sense, one of the first monitors to be available to homeowners, uses machine learning to identify individual appliances and their electricity usage. Sense's monitors employ machine learning—and a million measurements per second—to try to identify individual appliances and their power draw, teasing out their unique “signatures” from your home’s main power feeds. The version that we’d suggest considering first is the company’s base model, but Sense also offers two upgrades. One adds the ability to measure solar-panel output and the other directly monitors two sub-circuits, “perfect for large loads, like HVAC systems and EV chargers or hard-to-detect variable motors, like heat pumps,” according to the company.

The goal, and it’s a worthy one, is to help you save on your electricity use and cost. And the energy-monitor manufacturers we spoke to—Sense, Generac (whose PWRview W2 is now a former pick), and Emporia (with its Gen 3 Vue)—were convincing and consistent in their claims of savings. A typical customer, according to the companies’ data, will save between 7% and 10% on their energy bill in the year after installing a monitor, and some will save twice that. What’s unclear is whether a given monitor is crucial to the savings.
