By now, they should have perfected this, but no, just rebrand the same lackluster technology.
If also paying an electrician to install, this is an expensive toy that simply does not deliver... rebranding junk is still junk.

For a friend, I ran the garage door up and down for 10 minutes and still did not detect it.... which was one of the reasons they purchased it for. I finally flipped off all other breakers but the garage door circuit and voila! .... it found it. That was how I trained it for existing circuits one at a time. Anything plugged in later was basically useless unless you train it for that circuit in the same way by turning off all breakers but that one and walking around with a toaster that draws some amps. But then it would miss something later plugged in, like a radio turned on.... which is why maybe I should have started training for that individual circuit with a low amp device to see if it would find it.
It is definitely not plug and play....
To be clear for your question, no, you can't specifically identify a peak and tell it what it is. You have to trick it into identifying it itself.
