Sense Sense Home Energy Monitor — Ireland 2026

AI identifies individual appliances from electrical signatures — no plugs or clamps needed

Samples your electrical panel at 1 million times per second and uses machine learning to identify individual appliances — fridge, EV charger, washing machine, heat pump — without separate plugs or clamps. Takes 2–4 weeks to fully learn a home. Electrician required for installation (mounts inside consumer unit). Optional solar CT clamp adds generation monitoring.

Sense identifies your fridge, EV charger, washing machine, dryer, heat pump — by their unique electrical signatures. No plugs or clamps on each device.
📡
1 MHz sampling — highest resolution
Samples your electricity supply one million times per second — far beyond the capabilities of standard energy monitors.
🏠
See every device separately
After the learning period, Sense shows each appliance as a separate tile — with its own energy usage, daily cost and trends over time.

🚗 Add an electric car — managed by your smart energy system

Smart energy management and an EV are made for each other. Your system already coordinates energy across your home — an EV adds a large flexible load that charges at exactly the right time: solar surplus, lowest tariff, or when your battery is full. See all 205+ EVs in the EV Vehicle Directory.
