We make things that matter.
We are happiest creating products for people’s everyday lives. The only thing better is working with great people. Luckily, we get to do both.
Power is knowledge.
People should know what’s happening in their homes. We track calories, footsteps, miles per gallon; yet we know so little about our home. We built the Sense home energy monitor to make homes more efficient, reliable and secure.Now we’re putting all our energy into helping you better understand yours.
