      Would be nice to be able to show aggregate totals by circuit type. For example, my A/C has a condenser and a blower on separate circuits, would be nice to see them added together. Having said that, also add multiple air conditioners, since I have 2.

      PS looked for a search function in case this was already asked, could not find one.

      I like this idea as well since my heat pump has a HUGE electric toaster as backup heat.  I have used 4 CTs for the air handler and 2 CTs fr the outside unit.  Sure, I can use only one CT per device but then I lose the ability to see a potential problem.  I have OCD and a technical background.  Since I recently installed this system I’m still collecting data.

      help me out: if you use 2 sensors for a 220 circuit, how do you spot a problem? unbalanced load?

      I’m guessing if A/C-1 and A/C-2 have been running fairly even then all of a sudden they don’t…that is a problem.  Exactly what kind of an event that caused such an imbalance I’ll let the knowledgeable electrical engineers chime in.  Regardless, I would want to know something is not right.
