I use energy monitoring plugs on several large appliance currently. Think clothes washer, dish washer, freezer. I am adding two more beverage refrigerators during a remodel and it got me wondering about whole home energy monitoring. I started doing research and am weighing the pros and cons of Sense vs. Iottawatt, the cost seems about the same.
Sense:
Is the Sense integration fully baked and works well with the HA energy dashboard? including the second circuit of the sense flex.
Will sense accurately detect our electric dryer, various refrigerators, dishwasher and EV charging, hot tub and patio heaters?
Is the sense cloud connection stable?
Iotawatt:
Could I infer individual loads running on a circuit in HA?
How do I know which CT clamps to use? Match the rating with the breaker?
