Sense is a Cambridge, Massachusetts energy-intelligence company that builds a residential energy monitor and machine-learning platform for real-time whole-home electricity disaggregation. The Sense Monitor installs in a home electrical panel, samples voltage and current at one million times per second, and uses signature-based machine-learning models to identify individual appliances and loads behind a single point of measurement. The Sense iOS, Android, and web apps surface device-level usage, always-on load, solar production, time-of-use cost, and goal tracking to homeowners. For utilities and grid operators, Sense embeds its disaggregation software into next-generation AMI 2.0 smart meters through partnerships with meter manufacturers such as Landis+Gyr, providing grid-edge visibility, fault detection, load-management, demand-response, and virtual-power-plant enablement. Sense also runs a partner program for smart-device integration with thermostats, EV chargers, heat pumps, and home-service providers. Sense has not released an official public developer API; community developers maintain reverse-engineered, unofficial clients in Python, Node.js, and Home Assistant against an undocumented and unsupported endpoint. Sense's revenue model is hardware sales of the consumer monitor and licensing of its disaggregation software to utilities and meter OEMs.
