I bought a Sense (https://sense.com https://sense.com) because I loved the idea of applying ML to my energy consumption. While the interface is nice, it just hasn't lived up to its promise. It wants to classify 40% of my energy usage as 'unknown'. Nothing so insightful that it's really worth giving up my privacy, unfortunately.
The future of IoT is open, hackable, and decentralized. The IoTaWatt looks like a big step in the right direction.
- xfitm3 6y agoHow in the world can ML benefit energy consumption?
- aemreunal 6y agoA cynical person would say "Through smartly-targeted ads for devices claiming to use less power than the ones you have" but I'm totally not one of those people.
- cromka 6y agoIt doesn’t benefit it, it is used to infer the consumption by each of the devices in the circuit separately. In theory, in practice it doesn’t really work well, as Op pointed out.
