There is no charge for the Sense Home app. And neither Sense nor your utility charge subscription fees to use the free Sense Home app. And we won't sell your personal data. Energy programs in your state allow Sense to be paid when you reduce your energy use or shift the times you use your appliances to times when energy demand is lower.
The Sense Home app can be downloaded to mobile devices (phone or tablet) from either the Apple App store or the Google App store. New features and enhancements remain free via app updates and over-the-air software upgrades.
You save money, your utility can better manage the grid, and everyone benefits. The environment also benefits, which makes us very happy. In fact, it's our mission.
Though the app is free, it does need some kind of hardware that allows it monitor your home's electrical use. There are two options:
- If your utility company has informed you that they have installed a Sense-enabled smart meter at your home, you can download the Sense Home app to your mobile device and connect it, using Wi-Fi, to your meter to setup your free account.
- If you want Sense but your utility company has not yet provided a Sense-enabled meter, you can purchase a Sense Home Energy Monitor at our website to install in your electrical panel, then download the free Sense Home app and connect the monitor and the app using your home's Wi-Fi.
