This binding supports the Sense Energy monitor (sense.com ) which can be used to provide accurate energy usage statistics in the home.
In addition to providing real-time and historical energy production and usage data, Sense also uses machine learning to predict specific device usage in the home.
This binding interfaces with the Sense cloud and local monitor to provide openHAB real-time energy updates for the whole house and any known devices.
Note, the binding currently assumes (and the configuration tested) that the monitor is installed in a solar enabled configuration.
# SenseEnergy Binding
This binding supports the Sense Energy monitor (sense.com) which can be used to provide accurate energy usage statistics in the home.
In addition to providing real-time and historical energy production and usage data, Sense also uses machine learning to predict specific device usage in the home.
This binding interfaces with the Sense cloud and local monitor to provide openHAB real-time energy updates for the whole house and any known devices.
Note, the binding currently assumes (and the configuration tested) that the monitor is installed in a solar enabled configuration.
If you have a device in a different configuration I would welcome the feedback and would be able to add support to the binding.
Sense also allows smart plugs and other devices to provide real-time usage allowing Sense to incorporate accurate usage statistics into your data.
This binding also supports creation of virtual proxy devices in openHAB which can send to Sense any energy usage for openHAB aware devices.
Here are several examples of how a virtual proxy device can be used.
- A pool pump known in openHAB can update its power when on to Sense
- A switch or dimmer where the power is known can get send to Sense when on.
- A fan / scene represented as a String can be used to notify Sense of the power usage when a particualar scene is on.
Using the openHAB follow profile with the channel(s) of the proxy device is an easy way to link these proxy devices to your openHAB setup. (see examples)
This binding builds off the following works in understanding the Sense API.
