→ Take control of your home energy use, in real time. Sense turns your home's electrical activity into real-time insight, so you can use energy more efficiently, spend less, and stay ahead of your electric bill. → Save energy. Save money. Most people only find out what they used once the bill arrives, when it’s too late to change anything. Sense shows you how much energy your home is using right now and how this month compares with the last, straight from your phone. You’ll see what’s driving your bill, get tips that fit your home, and start reacting less and planning more. → Find your home’s energy hogs. Minimize what you waste. A lot of devices in your home draw power even when they're off: some by design, some because they've grown less efficient over time. Sense helps you find what's quietly running in the background, so you can decide what's worth unplugging, fixing, or replacing. → Get real-time notifications.
