What happens here

The presenter explains the Sense monitor's core intelligence: it automatically detects and identifies various electrical devices in the household, such as motors, air conditioning units, and lights, without direct wiring to each. The corresponding smartphone app is then demonstrated, displaying a real-time list of detected devices and their power consumption. The app provides 'per second' calculations of amperage and wattage, enabling detailed insight into what appliances are consuming power at any given moment.

Goal: Understand how the Sense app tracks and displays real-time energy usage and device activity.
