Thanks. I did read through your provided links, and I don't disagree with them.
The current transformers used by Sense are inductive by their very nature, but that property does not suggest preferential detection of specifically inductive loads.
It can detect inductive loads as being unique, but it can also detect largely-resistive loads as being unique -- as well as many other things that present a particular signature.
The toaster presented in the blog is an excellent example of a largely-resistive thing that still behaves in unique ways.
