Many next-generation smart meters can now run the Sense Home app—and we’re working with a growing number of electricity providers to bring Sense to homes at no additional cost. With Sense, you get real-time energy insights that help you make smarter choices, reduce waste, and lower your bills.
Here’s how it works when your electric utility offers Sense as part of your smart meter.
Why Do I Need to Link Sense to My Electricity Provider?
To protect your privacy and ensure secure access, Sense verifies your identity by linking to your electricity provider. This step ensures that only you can connect to your home’s electric meter.
What Information Is Shared Between Sense and My Provider?
When you link your provider account to Sense, you allow us to:
-
Receive limited account details for identity verification
-
Complete the setup of your Sense-enabled smart meter
-
Use your ZIP code to offer insights like carbon intensity and home comparisons within the app
We take your data privacy seriously. To learn more, see:
