As Sense continues to learn about the devices in your home, it may refine its recognition and make automatic updates to improve accuracy. You’ll see these updates in your Timeline and, at times, via in-app notifications when you open the Sense Home app.
Types of Device Updates
More Details Over Time
-
Initially, some devices may only show basic info, like estimated cost per year or daily usage.
-
As Sense learns more, real-time updates and additional insights may appear.
Renaming & Re-Typing Devices
-
If Sense becomes confident about a device’s identity, it may automatically rename or re-type it (e.g., changing “Heat” to “Toaster” or correcting a “Coffee Maker” to a “Kettle”).
Auto-Combining Devices
-
Some appliances have multiple electrical signatures (e.g., a dishwasher’s heat + motor). Sense may merge these into a single device for more accurate tracking.
Device Removal for Accuracy
-
If Sense mistakenly identifies a unique device but later determines it’s incorrect, it will remove it from your list to prevent confusion.
-
Removing inaccurate models helps Sense refine its detection and improve overall accuracy.
📌 Sometimes, multiple updates may happen at once—for example, a misidentified device might be removed and replaced with a more accurate label.
By refining its models over time, Sense ensures you get clearer, more accurate energy insights for your home.
