I use an aeotec gen 5. The handler works but it ain’t perfect. I mostly got it to find my real energy usage bs just adding up plugs and circuit breaker amounts. I can see real usage but not live I forget what the updates timer is set to to not alert out wth too much traffic. At some point I’m going to pull it from smart things and set it up on my computer with aeotec’s usb hub stick bc that seems more resistant and will give me tons more info about my house and historical data that I can use better.

I use Aeotec and have been playing with Simple Events Logger DH to produce energy usage charts.

I have Sense. So long as you monitor it during the ‘setup’ period and get devices named/grouped properly, it is pretty good.

Sense here about 8 months in and 57 known devices have been pulled into Smartthings for use with ActionTiles. Only one mystery rice cooker that comes on twice weekly at 2:15am and runs for 30seconds. no idea.

I haven't confirmed, but the Square D one looks like a rebranded Sense. Does anyone know if that's actually true?
