Sense Realtime API

The Sense Realtime API delivers live electricity usage data via a WebSocket connection, streaming second-by-second power consumption readings for the whole home and identified devices. The feed includes current wattage draw, solar production output when applicable, grid import and export values, and the real-time on/off status of machine-learning identified devices. Clients authenticate using a bearer token obtained from the Client API and connect to the secure WebSocket endpoint parameterized with the monitor ID.
